What is this lawsuit about?:  The Sprint Solutions class action lawsuit claims that the following laws were violated: Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, (“TCPA”), Washington’s Automatic Dialing and Announcing Device statute, Wash. Rev. Code § 80.36.400, and Washington’s Consumer Protection Act, Wash. Rev. Code § 19.86, et seq.  The laws were violated according to the lawsuit when telephone solicitation calls were made to the Class Representative and Members when they specifically requested not to have these types of calls made.  The automatic dialing and announcing device calls a person house and automatically starts playing a prerecorded message once the call is answered.
