FTC and States Sue Hims Hers Over Privacy Violations and Deceptive Practices
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with Utah and California, has filed a lawsuit against the telehealth provider Hims & Hers. The complaint alleges that the company engaged in deceptive practices by sharing consumers' sensitive health information with third-party advertising platforms, despite assurances of privacy. Additionally, the FTC claims that Hims & Hers misled consumers about its billing and cancellation processes, charging them for prescriptions without proper consultation and making it difficult to cancel subscriptions. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses the company of violating the FTC Act and other state consumer protection laws.
