Chicago Cubs texts $1.225M class action settlement

The Chicago Cubs agreed to a $1.225 million settlement to resolve claims it sent unlawful telemarketing Cubs texts to consumers.

The settlement benefits individuals who received at least two text messages from the Chicago Cubs within a 12-month period promoting the team’s goods for sale at least 30 days after it received a “stop” reply since May 2, 2019.

According to the class action lawsuit, the Cubs marketing team sent repeated telemarketing texts to consumers despite their requests to stop. These messages allegedly violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The Chicago Cubs are one of Chicago’s Major League Baseball (MLB) team.

The team has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $1.225 million to resolve the Cubs texts class action lawsuit.

Under the settlement terms, class members can receive a share of the net settlement fund. Class counsel estimates each class member will receive about $300, on average, though the actual amount could vary depending on how many Cubs texts were received.

Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive a settlement payment. Class members can update their address or select a payment method on the settlement website. Those who do not select a method of payment will receive a paper check at the address where they received their notice, or an electronic payment if they received their notice via email.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 14, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for June 17, 2024.
