Although toxic tort
claims can be filed on behalf of an individual, they
often seek compensation for a group of people, which is referred to as a
class action lawsuit.
Often, regulatory investigations lead to, or are simultaneous with, private - party
class action litigation involving
claims based on privacy policy statements, consumer protection laws prohibiting deceptive or unfair practices, collection and disclosure of user information, TCPA, ECPA and SCA, and California Song - Beverly Act
claims.
