Mass production and marketing of consumer goods and services means that a single mistake or wrongful act at any stage of design, production, or distribution can injure or cause loss to many people in a similar way. One response to these injuries or losses (called “mass wrongs”) is a “class action” – a lawsuit that groups people with a common claim together against the same defendant. A class action deals with several claims that would otherwise be separate lawsuits. | Mass production and marketing of consumer goods and services means that a single mistake or wrongful act at any stage of design, production, or distribution can injure or cause loss to many people in a similar way.
