On December 19, 2014, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleging that CVS Pharmacy, Inc. ("CVS") has been sending consumers unsolicited text messages in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA").  The TCPA class action lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages, as well as an injunction and payment of all attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the litigation.  CVS is no stranger to TCPA class actions, as two separate class actions are presently pending against the company in Illinois, each alleging that it violated the "robocall" provisions of the TCPA.  CVS must answer the most recent complaint filed in Florida by January, 2015.
