On July 12, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed against SHEIN for allegedly violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending marketing text messages to numbers listed on the National Do-Not-Call Registry without prior consent. The plaintiff, whose number was registered in April 2025, continued receiving promotional texts in June, well past the required 31-day buffer. The case emphasizes that TCPA rules apply not only to calls but also to automated SMS marketing, requiring companies to prove consent, honor opt-outs, and now comply within 10 business days following an FCC order in April 2025. This lawsuit highlights stricter enforcement of consumer privacy protections against unsolicited marketing communications.
