Mass tort cases are those involving the release of a dangerous product or service, or several serious individual injuries due to the public release of a product, service or device. A mass tort case is a consolidation of a large number of claims associated with a single defective/harmful product that have a factual and legal commonality as well as a value interdependence between the claims.

Some confuse mass tort cases with class action suits. The difference is that each mass tort plaintiff has distinct damages associated with its unique, individual claim.

Notable mass tort cases involve hip replacements, oil spill injuries, asbestos, malfunction of the Kugel Mesh Patch, the Medtronic Defibrillator Recall and pharmaceutical claims.
