Candy Makers Can Appeal

Hershey and Mars can appeal a federal judge's decision concerning a civil lawsuit that accuses them of price fixing.

U.S. District Judge Christopher C. Conner has issued a memorandum allowing the Pennsylvania candy makers, and others, to appeal his decision. Last month, Conner denied the companies' requests to dismiss the case.

The manufacturers control 75 percent of the U.S. market. They are being sued by buyers who accuse them of fixing prices between 2002 and 2007.

They say they never conspired to fix prices.
