Designer Brands & DSW Class Action Settlement FAQs

Common questions about this class action settlement.

Who was covered?

People who received a text message from Designer Brands, Inc. or DSW Shoe Warehouse, Inc. selling their products or services after they had already asked not to receive future marketing texts. The stop request is what defined the class, so messages received before it were not part of the case.

Why did a text message create a legal claim?

The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act restricts marketing messages to people who have opted out. When a company keeps texting after a stop request, that statute is what plaintiffs sue under, and because it sets damages per message these settlements are counted by the text rather than by the person.
