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.
Rosendale is a village in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 923 at the 2000 census. The village is located partially within the Town of Rosendale and partially within the Town of Springvale. Rosendale is located along Highways 23 and 26 and is approximately 15 miles from the major resort area of Green Lake. Because of this, speed limits are enforced heavily. Local businesses have in recent years begun to sell T-shirts which read "Rosendale: Just the Ticket!" In 2010, a Facebook group encouraging the boycott of Rosendale for "unfair police traffic entrapment" was set up and had several hundred members. When Rosendale got its first and only traffic light installed, the village had a celebration.
