Forest Laboratories Junk Fax Class Action Lawsuit

These faxes violated the TCPA, which prohibits companies from sending or having someone else send unsolicited advertisements via fax, the class action lawsuit says.

“Unsolicited faxes prevent fax machines from receiving authorized faxes, prevent their use for authorized outgoing faxes, cause undue wear and tear on the recipients’ fax machines, and require additional labor to attempt to discern the source and purpose of the unsolicited message,” the TCPA class action lawsuit says. “A junk fax consumes a portion of the limited capacity of telecommunications infrastructure servicing the victims of junk faxing.”

The Forest Laboratories fax class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of anyone who received a fax advertisement from Forest or co-defendant The Peer Group within the last four years without giving prior permission or having an existing business relationship with the defendants. It is seeking damages, interest and an injunction barring the defendants from further violating the TCPA.

The Forest Laboratories TCPA Class Action Lawsuit case is St. Louis Heart Center Inc. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., Case No. 12-cv-02224, U.S. District Court, Eastern district of Missouri. The plaintiffs are represented by Glennon P. Fogarty of Husch Blackwell LLP.
