A mass tort is a civil action involving numerous plaintiffs against one or a few corporate defendants. The tort may involve, for example, personal injuries suffered by numerous plaintiffs as a result of a defective product, or a mass disaster in which there were many injured persons, such as an airplane crash, or exposure of a large group of people to toxic chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
Whiskeytown is an unincorporated community in Shasta County, California, United States. The ZIP Code is 96095. The community is inside area code 530. There is absolutely nobody living in Whiskeytown as of today. The entire town of Whiskeytown was flooded to make way for Whiskeytown Lake in the 1950s. The ZIP Code of 96095 is now defunct as it is being taken over by ZIP Code 96033 in nearby French Gulch. The town of Whiskeytown is now properly part of French Gulch as the now closed post office and store was on higher ground for 40 years. But Whiskeytown appears on many maps. There is also a roadside store that calls itself 'Whiskeytown'.
