3516 There is no categorical bar to certification of medical monitoring claims for class treatment, so long as individual issues are manageable; in a class claim on behalf of 50,000 to 100,000 people for medical monitoring that will be required because of exposure to toxic substances discharged by defendants over a 40 year period, individual issues of proximate cause and damage would be unmanageable.CitationLOCKHEED v SUPERIOR COURT (Toxic Class) 29 C4 1096 [See: CCP 382; Lockheed v Superior Court (RevGrtd) 79 CA4 1019, T/AT 5/00; Potter v Firestone 6 C4 965, T/AT 2/94]
