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.
Potter is a village in Cheyenne County, Nebraska, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the village population was 390. On July 6, 1928 the then world's largest hailstone fell in Potter - the diameter was 5½ inches, and it weighed 1½ pounds. When cut in half it was found to be a single hailstone rather than several frozen together. The Tin-Roof Sundae was invented in Potter.
