Art Van Furniture Marketing Phone Calls Class Action Settlement

Consumers who received a prerecorded marketing call from Art Van Furniture may be able to benefit from a $5.8 million Art Van Furniture TCPA class action settlement.

The lead plaintiff, Michael Bowman, accused Art Van Furniture of using prerecorded phone messages to contact him and others in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

According to the plaintiff, he and other consumers received repeated, unwanted messages from the mid-Western furniture company leading to aggravation, interruption, and lost cellphone battery and minutes.

Bowman alleged in the 2017 Art Van Furniture class action lawsuit that the company cast “too wide a net” when it blanketed the mid-West in annoying prerecorded telephone calls.

Further, the plaintiff claimed that Art Van violated the TCPA’s prohibitions on the use of automatic telephone dialing system and use of artificial or prerecorded voices to contact consumers’ cell phones without their prior express written consent.

The TCPA was enacted to stop the incoming tide of harassing prerecorded advertising phone calls in the early 1990s. The Act was expanded to include communication via fax and text message. The TCPA also put in place the national Do-Not-Call registry and threatened steep fines of up to $1,500 per violation.

Under the terms of the Art Van Furniture TCPA class action settlement, Class Members will receive a share of the $5,875,000 that the company has agreed to pay to end the litigation. Art Van Furniture does not admit any wrongdoing under the terms of the settlement, however.

Class Members have until Sept. 26, 2018 to object to or exclude themselves from the Art Van Furniture TCPA class action settlement.

Class Members include “all individuals and entities who were called by or on behalf of Art Van Furniture through the use of pre-recorded voice technology between May 23, 2013 and July 23, 2018.”
