Gage Cannabis Co. is being sued by a Michigan woman who said the company violated federal telemarketing laws when it sent unsolicited texts about its products. Gage is based out of Massachusetts under AEY Holdings and operates dispensaries and cultivation in multiple states.
In the case filed in the Western District of Michigan, plaintiff Nicole Sapphire said she received several texts in October 2022 regarding products and Halloween-themed bundle deals. She alleges that the company ignored her “repeated opt-out demands and continued to send plaintiff further text messages.”
This is not the first time AEY Holdings has been sued over this issue in Michigan by Andrew J. Shamis, of the Miami-based law firm Shamis & Gentile PA. The firm also took on plaintiff Dane Theisen in a July 2020 class action complaint. Attorney Shamis has developed a legal strategy for suing companies over use of unsolicited telemarketing, which is focused on marijuana companies in Michigan.
Shamis & Gentile has sued at least three Michigan marijuana companies in federal court, including MichiCann Medical, which operates as 420 Dank in Detroit; AEY Capital, which does business as Gage Cannabis; and Light’N Up Provisioning and Microbuddery in Flint.
