Green Bay Appleton, WI, November 13, 2026 —
Wisconsin is among the states and federal agencies taking legal action against Hims & Hers Health, Inc., a telehealth provider. The state has joined a federal lawsuit alongside the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and six other states, according to recent reports. The legal action centers on allegations concerning the company’s handling of customer data, billing practices, and service cancellation processes.
The lawsuit claims that Hims & Hers Health, Inc. allegedly shared sensitive customer health information with third-party advertising platforms. This practice raises concerns regarding patient privacy and the protection of personal health data.
Further allegations detailed in the lawsuit include claims of deceptive billing practices. Such practices can involve misleading customers about costs, recurring charges, or the terms of their subscriptions.
Additionally, the legal complaint states that the company made it difficult for customers to cancel their services. Obstacles to cancellation can lead to customers being unexpectedly billed for services they no longer wish to receive.
The specific details regarding the timeline of these alleged practices, the extent of the data shared, or the precise nature of the billing deception were not explicitly stated in the summary. Similarly, the outcome of previous legal proceedings or any potential fines or penalties that may be sought in this federal lawsuit were not provided in the available information. The involvement of multiple states and the FTC indicates a broad-ranging investigation into the company’s operations.
Hims & Hers Health, Inc. operates as a telehealth platform offering various health and wellness services, including prescription medications and consultations.
