January 2024 Jury Trial Set in TCPA Class Action vs. P&G

U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz for Southern Florida in Fort Lauderdale signed an order Monday (docket 0:22-cv-61956) setting a jury trial for January 2024 in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action against Procter & Gamble (see 2211210013). Ruiz ordered the parties to choose a mediator by Dec. 12 and to complete class certification discovery by Feb. 21. Plaintiff Christa Simmons alleges P&G engaged in unsolicited text messaging to promote its Oral-B brand to consumers without prior express written consent, in violation of the TCPA and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act.
