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.
Beulah is a city in Mercer County, North Dakota, in the United States. The population was 3,152 at the 2000 census. Beulah was founded in 1913. Because of its proximity to Hazen, a town of similar size about 10 km (5 mi) away, Beulah is rarely mentioned by itself but rather as Beulah-Hazen. Beulah is home to the Dakota Gasification Company.
