Ford Motor and two co-defendants are seeking mass tort designation for multiple suits involving 656 plaintiffs who are seeking damages for health hazards from a New Jersey toxic landfill near a former Ford plant. New Jersey's acting administrative director of the courts has issued a notice to the state Bar giving interested parties until Oct. 12 to comment on the request. Last July, Ford and other defendants unsuccessfully tried to remove litigation over the Ringwood Mines Landfill Site to federal court.

Ford Motor Co. and two co-defendants are seeking mass tort designation for multiple suits that seek damages for health hazards from a toxic landfill in Passaic County, N.J., near a former Ford plant.
The defendants argue that the 656 plaintiffs’ claims arise from the same set of facts and plead similar injuries and that centralized management would save money and streamline the process.
