Chapter Aesthetic Studio TCPA Spam Texts Settlement Up to $550 Per Person

Chapter Aesthetic Studio (ASP Aesthetics LP) agreed to settle a TCPA “spam text” class action after a plaintiff alleged the company kept sending marketing messages to consumers even after those people asked to stop. Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), businesses generally can’t send marketing texts to a number that has opted out, and alleged violations can carry significant statutory penalties per message. In this case, the lawsuit claims the company or its agents promoted products after the recipients had made an opt-out request sometime between April 4, 2021 and February 10, 2026, with the settlement covering U.S. consumers who received qualifying promotional texts after they said “stop.” The settlement’s significance is both practical and financial: the total fund is $1.32 million, and eligible claimants may receive up to $55 per qualifying text, capped at 10 texts for a maximum of $550 per person (final amounts can depend on how many people file claims). The case was filed to enforce consumers’ opt-out rights and to give individuals a way to seek relief for repeated unwanted contacts that can be difficult to pursue one-by-one. Broader implications include how strictly courts and regulators treat opt-out failures in the marketing texting industry—where companies often rely on consent lists, keyword opt-out workflows, and automated messaging systems that must promptly honor “STOP” requests—while similar TCPA actions have been brought against other businesses for the same general conduct: sending marketing texts after an opt-out, sometimes leading to settlements that encourage tighter compliance, clearer consent management, and faster suppression of opted-out numbers.
