"Kill the class action; kill the tort"
From the good people at Drug & Device Law comes word of a federal district court opinion finding that each "plaintiff's individual medical condition/history is relevant" to a medical monitoring claim under Pennsylvania law. As D&D points out, this holding creates an individual issue, which should defeat class certification of a medical monitoring claim.
