Kliewer v. Fender Musical Instruments Corporation

What this case is about

The plaintiff alleges that Fender Musical Instruments violated federal telephone privacy law by sending unsolicited text messages or making automated calls to consumers without their proper consent. The lawsuit claims that Fender used an automatic telephone dialing system or similar technology to contact people in ways that the law prohibits, such as sending marketing messages to individuals who never agreed to receive them or continuing to contact people after they asked to stop. The proposed class is expected to include other consumers across the United States who received similar unwanted communications from Fender. The plaintiff is seeking damages on behalf of all affected individuals, as the law allows for monetary penalties for each violation.
