A class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court
for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Philip Morris designed
cigarettes that delivered excessive levels of carcinogens, has been
certified as a class action lawsuit by federal Judge Nancy Gertner,
according to a class action lawsuit news report.
The Philip Morris class action lawsuit reportedly includes as class
members thousands of Massachusetts smokers age 50 and older who have
smoked at least one pack of Marlboro cigarettes a day for at least 20
years.
The Philip Morris class action lawsuit complaint reportedly seeks to
have Philip Morris pay for medical monitoring (i.e., regular screenings
to detect early signs of lung cancer) in the form of a low-dose computed
tomography scan (which typically cost $400 to $500 per year).
