Woman Tries To Sue Girl Scouts Over “Heavy Metals” In Cookies

 A New York woman is suing the Girl Scouts after claiming their cookies contain heavy metals. The class action suit filed this week is asking for five-million dollars from the organization after a study showed that Girl Scout Cookies contained lead, arsenic, mercury and aluminum. The Girl Scouts released a statement last month saying, "heavy metals can occur naturally in soil" and they are not added to the cookies. An article in “Forbes” later confirmed that the FDA and USDA both allow residues of metals in foods at levels deemed non-harmful, and said, "there is no evidence that the cookies pose a health risk."
