Schwan’s Beats Suit Accusing Company of Sending Unlawful Texts

Schwan’s Home Services Inc. defeated a class action in an Oregon federal court accusing it of sending unwanted texts to promote sales in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Schwan’s, which delivers frozen food items, got permission in advance to send the texts, so there was no violation, Judge Karin J. Immergut of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon said in an opinion Tuesday.

The ruling, which granted Schwan’s motion for summary judgment, shows how plaintiffs must prove there was no consent in order to successfully allege violations of the federal anti-robocall law.
