Papa John’s Text Messages Allegedly Exceeded Plaintiff’s Consent

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making consumers aware of the following Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) class action lawsuit filing:

Papa John’s USA, Inc. (“Papa John’s”)

Class action lawsuit filed on February 20, 2020 in United States District Court, Central District of California, against Papa John’s USA, Inc., “the corporate entity behind the popular Papa John’s pizza restaurant chain,” for, allegedly, “tak[ing] advantage of the goodwill of consumers by sending them text messages in excess of the limited consent [Papa John’s] obtains,” thereby, according to the complaint, “repeatedly violat[ing] the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.”

The complaint states that the Plaintiff provided Papa John’s “consent to send him a maximum of six text messages each month at his cellular telephone.”  However, Papa John’s, allegedly, sent seven text messages to Plaintiff’s cell phone, thus “exceeding the six messages per month that [Plaintiff] consented to receive.”

Examples in the class action complaint of text messages the Plaintiff received from SMS code 472-72 are as follows:
