The Connecticut Attorney General, on behalf of the national Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force, filed petitions in Indiana state court to compel Avid Telecom and One Eye LLC to comply with civil investigative demands regarding their alleged involvement in routing illegal robocalls. The task force alleges these providers accepted and routed fraudulent calls, including government imposter scams, and seeks court orders for them to produce documents and call data records.
The task force is seeking a court order to compel Avid Telecom and One Eye LLC to respond to civil investigative demands, including answering interrogatories and producing all call data records related to their traffic.
In-house legal teams should review vendor and service provider agreements with telecommunications or voice service providers, particularly those involving call routing, traffic termination, or gateway services. Key clauses to examine include compliance with telemarketing laws (e.g., TCPA, TSR), call authentication requirements (STIR/SHAKEN), data sharing and call record provisions, audit rights, cooperation with government investigations, and termination for illegal activities. Changes may be needed to mandate strict call authentication, require immediate compliance with investigative demands, implement traffic monitoring for fraudulent patterns, and include indemnification for regulatory violations arising from illegal robocalls.

On May 11, 2026, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong led a bipartisan coalition of 21 attorneys general in submitting a comment letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) urging the agency to abandon draft guidance that would ease approvals for flavored e-cigarette products. The coalition argues the guidance ignores evidence that flavored e-cigarettes disproportionately drive youth addiction and that FDA has failed to enforce existing authorization requirements for e-cigarette products. The letter references past tobacco and e-cigarette enforcement actions, including the 1998 tobacco master settlement agreement and the 2022 $438.5 million settlement with JUUL Labs.
