SmileDirectClub agreed to pay $2.95 million in a class action lawsuit settlement, according to a Feb. 9 report from topclassactions.com.
The lawsuit claimed that the company violated telemarketing laws in Florida by sending unsolicited text messages about SmileDirectClub services between July 1, 2021, and Dec. 30, 2022.
The messages violated the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, a law that prohibits companies from marketing their products or services through phone calls or text messages to Florida residents without first gaining consent.
SmileDirectClub agreed to pay the amount to resolve the claims, but did not admit to any violations or wrongdoing, the report said.
