Versa Cardio Junk Fax Class Action Settlement

A $850,000 settlement has been reached to resolve claims that Versa Cardio violated federal law by sending junk faxes without opt out notices.

The settlement will benefit consumers who received unsolicited advertisements through a fax machine, computer, or other device from Versa Cardio LLC on or after June 1, 2014.

The Versa Cardio class action lawsuit was filed in April 2015 by plaintiff Dr. Robert Mauthe, a physician who allegedly received unsolicited faxes regarding the company’s products.

In August 2014, Dr. Mauthe says he received unwanted junk faxes regarding Versa Cardio’s cellular cardiac monitors. He argues that these advertisements did not include an opt out notice that told him how to stop receiving further advertisements.

Dr. Mauthe also alleged that Versa Cardio sent out similar junk faxes to medical offices across the United States, prompting him to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and other medical professionals.

According to the class action lawsuit, Versa Cardio’s advertisement faxes were a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The TCPA protects consumers from harassing behaviors in the form of phone calls, text messages, and faxes.

Dr. Mauthe claimed that, because Versa Cardio’s faxes were unsolicited and failed to include an opt out option, the company violated the TCPA.

Of the $850,000 settlement set aside to resolve Dr. Mauthe’s TCPA claims, 306,887 Class Members are estimated to receive $29 each. This amount is based on other fees that the settlement fund will be used for, including Class counsel payment, service awards, and administrative expenses.

Class counsel plans to ask for up to one third of the settlement fund in attorneys’ fees and court costs. Dr. Mauthe will receive a service award of up to $10,000 for his services as Class representative.

Class Members have until March 17, 2019 to object to the settlement or to ask to be excluded from it.
