Amchem Products v. Windsor

Amchem Products v. Windsor was a key U.S. Supreme Court case from 1997 that addressed class action lawsuits. It focused on whether a class of people could collectively sue manufacturers for asbestos-related injuries. The Court ruled that the class did not meet the requirements for certification because the members had different injuries and legal claims. This decision emphasized the importance of ensuring that all class members share common interests and legal issues, thereby reinforcing strict guidelines for forming class actions to protect defendants and ensure fair legal treatment for all parties involved.
