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.
Pisek is a city in Walsh County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 96 at the 2000 census. Pisek was founded in 1882, by Czech and Moravian settlers. Pisek was chosen as the name partly because some of the settlers had come from Pisek in the modern Czech Republic, and also because the town was built near a sand ridge and Pisek means sand in Czech.
