The products include Chocolate, Creme-Filled Chocolate and Buttercream Iced Creme-Filled Chocolate, which were shipped to retailers in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. 

The company is also facing a class action lawsuit filed by delivery drivers who allege it illegally underpaid them by denying them overtime, meal and rest breaks.
