A $11.5 million SmileDirectClub class action settlement will benefit certain consumers who claim to have received unsolicited text messages from the company.
Included in the settlement is anyone in the United States who received one or more text messages that may have included advertising or telemarketing under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) from SmileDirectClub between July 7, 2016, and Feb. 4, 2021.
The text messages covered by the settlement were allegedly sent by or on behalf of SmileDirectClub LLC and/or SmileDirectClub Inc., and related to SmileDirectClub.
Plaintiffs in the SmileDirectClub class action lawsuit accused the company of sending consumers marketing text messages using an automatic dialing system without consent, which violates the TCPA.
The defendants have denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
The Court has not ruled in favor of either party in this case, but both parties believe the settlement is in Class Members’ best interests.
SmileDirectClub is a telehealth platform that sells teeth-straightening orthodontic devices to consumers, according to the company’s website. The company has more than 1,000 partner network dental office locations, with hundreds of dentists and orthodontists and thousands of employees around the world.
Class Members who file a valid claim form, either online or by mail, in the SmileDirectClub class action settlement are expected to receive a maximum payment of $10.Â
However, that amount could be lowered depending on the number of claims filed and other factors.
Claimants will be able to choose whether they receive their payment via paper check or electronically via Amazon or PayPal.
Class Members in the SmileDirectClub settlement also have the option of filing a revocation request in order to opt out of receiving future texts and calls from the company.
Valid revocation requests must be filed online, and Class Members will be required to provide their full name and the phone number or numbers at which messages from defendants have been received.
Submitting a revocation request will not exclude the Class Member from participating in the SmileDirectClub settlement and does not constitute an objection to the settlement.
A fairness hearing on the SmileDirectClub settlement will be held May 19, 2021.
The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves or object to the settlement is May 4, 2021.
Claim forms must be submitted by June 28, 2021.
