There's an update that came out at the start of this year. You can find it here.

Long story short - it's as safe as any other dark chocolate on the market.

It's not as safe as other chocolates that have significantly less lead and cadmium. Furthermore, in some cases the contamination comes from the processing machinery, not the soil, so it completely under their control to immediately eliminate it. Yet they didn't say they planned to address the problem. They could also begin the process of eliminating cadmium by replanting on uncontaminated soil.
