A class-action lawsuit filed for more than $5 million against Publix Super Markets Inc. claims the supermarket chain made robocalls to customers’ cell phones without their consent.
The Lakeland Ledger reports that the lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Tampa.
It alleges Publix’s pharmacy made robocalls to customers to tell them their prescriptions were ready for pickup. But many of the people said they never used Publix’s prescription services and did not have a prescription to be picked up.
The lawsuit said Publix violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
A spokesman with Publix declined comment, saying the company does not comment on pending or active litigation.
