Considering the names of some of the recalled products, would it really be so much of a suprise to discover they contain nuts?
Again, much of this goes back to the lengths companies have to go to in order to prevent themselves being involved in silly legal cases.

My comment was backed up when I discoverd the recall covered on this site:

Lawyers and Settlements dot com - that about says it all. Let’s stick it on the site and see if we can’t entice someone to make a claim.
With all this ‘Ambulance Chasing’ over issues such as this don’t be suprised when candy prices go ever upwards through no fault of the candy producers or suppliers, or even worse, some honest candy companies have to close their doors.
All due to consumer greed.
