| Fossil Group, Inc.source ↗ filed by PLG Damage Attorneys · No. 2:26-cv-11813 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾Comparable TCPA rulings split sharply: Howard v. RNC and Hulce v. Zipongo affirmed dismissals on narrow statutory definitions (prerecorded-voice trigger, 'telephone solicitation'), while League of Women Voters v. Kramer survived a motion to dismiss on similar robocall theory. Outcome likely hinges on whether Fossil's texts used an ATDS/prerecorded content and whether consent was obtained. Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: Howard v. Republican National Committee (9th Cir.) - binding in C.D. Cal., narrows TCPA prerecorded-voice/text liability significantly. Main risk: Dismissal under Howard/Hulce framework if texts lack qualifying prerecorded-voice trigger or if consent/solicitation elements are deficient. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $175K–$19.70M Small, mixed comparable set; no prior Fossil TCPA history; class size and per-member figures are rough estimates pending discovery on call/text volume and consent records. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | C.D.
