Amazon’s online pharmacy PillPack LLC has agreed to a $6.5 million settlement to resolve allegations that it was responsible for unsolicited telemarketing calls, violating federal laws designed to protect consumers from robocalls and spam messages.
A motion filed Tuesday in Washington federal court urged U.S. District Judge David G. Estudillo to grant final approval of the deal, which would compensate thousands of affected consumers. The agreement aims to close a lawsuit that accused PillPack of using telemarketing subcontractors to make unauthorized calls, allegedly breaching the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Thousands of Consumers Eligible for Payouts
The class action, led by Washington resident Aaron Williams, represents a vast number of consumers who received unwanted calls. According to court filings, approximately 18,000 claims have been submitted so far, with 30,000 phone numbers included in the class list.
If approved, the net settlement fund would provide each affected consumer an estimated payout between $212 and $350, with the baseline amount set at $127 per claimant.
