Coast Dental TCPA Violations Class Action Settlement
Case Overview
Coast Dental, a dental practice operating in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, agreed to settle claims regarding violations of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) through the sending of unsolicited phone calls and text messages. The settlement specifically benefits people who received more than one text or call from the company within a 12-month period, even after they had requested to stop receiving future solicitations by replying with an opt-out message.
The class action alleged that Coast Dental sent marketing calls and texts to consumers in violation of the TCPA and Florida’s Telephone Solicitation Act. These laws mandate that businesses must secure prior express written consent before sending marketing texts or making marketing calls. Coast Dental has not admitted any wrongdoing regarding these violations.
Under the settlement terms, class members are eligible to receive either a cash payment, up to $59, or a voucher for an electronic toothbrush valued at $99. To receive payment, individuals must submit a valid claim form by December 24, 2026.
