Walgreens-TCPA-Update

The Walgreens class action settlement resolves allegations that the pharmacy placed unwanted phone calls to customer cellphones in violation of the TCPA.

The plaintiffs claimed that consumers who previously filled their prescriptions at a Walgreens were then sent an unsolicited robocall in order to encourage them to refill their prescription at the pharmacy.

Walgreens denied any wrongdoings but agreed to the settlement, which was granted preliminarily approval in April 2015.

Walgreens TCPA settlement Class Members include “all individuals in the United States to whom Walgreens placed a Prerecorded Prescription Call to their cellular telephone on or before April 3, 2015.”

Class Members who filed a claim in the Walgreens settlement are expected to receive an equal portion of the $11 million fund.

The deadline to submit a Claim Form for the Walgreens TCPA class action settlement passed on July 22, 2015.
