The cannabis technology company Eaze finds itself in legal jeopardy as a class action lawsuit has been filed alleging that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 by sending out unsolicited marketing text messages en masse various individuals across the country.

The lawsuit was filed by Farrah Williams and reported in MJ Biz Daily, who alleges that between September 2017 through the present she received dozens of unsolicited texts messages from Eaze. Williams’ suit claims that Eaze contacted her through the use of an autodialer and that the same had happened to countless others. The case also mentions the technology provided by (among other agents or affiliates) a company called Bitesize, which was founded and is operated by an individual named Jessica Lee. As restitution Williams is seeking an injunction prohibiting Eaze from committing any further violation of the TCPA, $2000 for herself and each member of the lawsuit for each and every text message that violated the TCPA, and payment of attorneys’ fees and costs.
