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 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. Payments may be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis.
