ED 18-cv-02104 SJO (PLAx)
Federal Injunctions
Case Summary
Announced in June 2019 as part of a crackdown on illegal robocalls against operations around the country responsible for more than one billion calls, this settlement resolves the FTC’s charges against one defendant in the Redwood Scientific case, Danielle Cadiz. The order permanently bans Cadiz from all robocall activities, including ringless voicemails, and imposes a judgment of $18.2 million against Cadiz. The FTC’s October 2018 complaint against Redwood Scientific charged the defendants with a scheme that used illegal robocalls to deceptively market dissolvable oral film strips as effective smoking cessation, weight-loss, and sexual-performance aids.
