Palm Beach Tan Agrees to $2.5M Settlement Over Alleged Unsolicited Text Messages

Customers who received unsolicited text messages from Palm Beach Tan may be eligible for a cash payment under a proposed $2.5 million class action settlement. According to reporting from Top Class Actions, the claim filing deadline is October 4, 2026.

What You Could Receive

Individual payout amounts are not fixed and will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted. As with most TCPA class action settlements, eligible class members may receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund after attorneys' fees, administrative costs, and any court-approved deductions are subtracted. The more claims filed, the smaller each individual payment may be.

Who Qualifies

You may be eligible if you:

• Received one or more text messages from Palm Beach Tan
• Did not provide prior express written consent to receive those messages
• Are a United States resident who received the texts during the covered period

Documentation needed: Claim forms for TCPA settlements typically do not require proof of purchase. Claimants may be asked to attest to receiving the unwanted texts under penalty of perjury.

How to File a Claim

1. Visit the official settlement website (details available through the Top Class Actions settlement page)
2. Complete the online or paper claim form
3. Provide any requested information about the text messages received
4. Submit your claim by October 4, 2026

What the Case Was About

The lawsuit alleges that Palm Beach Tan — a national tanning salon chain — sent text messages to consumers without obtaining the prior express written consent required under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The complaint claims the company used an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded messages to deliver these texts, which the TCPA expressly prohibits without proper consent.

Palm Beach Tan has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The company's agreement to resolve the litigation is not an acknowledgment of liability.

Under the TCPA, companies that send unsolicited text messages may face statutory damages of $500 per violation — and up to $1,500 per violation if a court finds the conduct was willful. Class actions allow large groups of affected consumers to pursue these claims collectively.
