PHILADELPHIA– An Ohio company claims a Southampton company sent it an unsolicited fax without its consent.
Modern Hearing Solutions of Canton Inc. filed a complaint on behalf of all others similarly situated on Nov. 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Ricca Group Inc., doing business as MedSurvey Inc., alleging violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
