Roche Diagnostics Junk Fax Class Action Settlement

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Roche Diagnostics Corp. violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by sending unsolicited fax advertisements.

Pharmacies that received one or more fax advertisements from Roche between April 11, 2012 and March 17, 2017 regarding the availability or quality of its property, goods or services may be entitled to compensation from the TCPA class action settlement.

The TCPA class action lawsuit was filed against Roche in April 2016 by plaintiff Econo-Med Pharmacy Inc. Econo-Med alleged Roche violated the TCPA and IDCSA by sending unsolicited fax advertisements without providing an opt-out notice as required by law.

“Junk faxes disrupt recipients’ peace, drain recipients’ paper, ink and toner, and cause recipients tangible damages,” Econo-Med alleged in the Roche TCPA class action lawsuit. “Junk faxes also cause recipients to waste valuable time retrieving and discerning the purpose of the faxes; prevent fax machines from receiving and sending authorized faxes; and cause undue wear and tear on recipients’ fax machines.”

Econo-Med says that its ability to use its fax machine to receive communications about patients is impeded when it receives junk faxes from companies such as Roche.

Roche denies that it violated the law or did anything wrong. However, the company has agreed to settle the TCPA junk fax class action lawsuit to avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation. Roche has agreed to pay $17 million to end the litigation.

The Roche junk fax class action settlement was preliminarily approved on March 17, 2017.

Class Members who wish to opt out of or object to the Roche TCPA settlement must do so no later than July 17, 2017.
