The lawsuit against Aptive Environmental generally refers to multiple consumer protection class action lawsuits and regulatory actions filed against the company alleging deceptive sales and billing practices, not product safety issues. One major type of lawsuit alleges that Aptive's door-to-door sales representatives misled customers by not clearly disclosing that they were signing up for an annual pest control contract with automatic renewal, that cancellation is difficult, and that customers were charged after requesting cancellation. For example, customers in several states filed class actions claiming Aptive violated state consumer protection laws, unfair business practices, and federal cooling-off rules for door-to-door sales. Another lawsuit type involves competitors suing Aptive over alleged poaching of employees and violating non-compete agreements. In 2021, Aptive faced action by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general regarding sales practices, leading to settlement requiring improved disclosures and easier cancellation. Some lawsuits also allege that Aptive continued to charge credit cards after service cancellation and did not provide refunds. Aptive denies wrongdoing and states it has updated contracts and training.
