Mercury-Exposure Class Action

A Philadelphia judge has certified three classes of Philadelphia residents and businesses in a class action that alleges that Philadelphia Gas Works has exposed some of its customers to mercury.

The plaintiffs are alleging they were exposed to mercury spills during the removal of mercury gas regulators and that PGW exposed other customers to mercury because of the continued presence of mercury regulators in their buildings.

Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Mark I. Bernstein ruled Tuesday that the classes in Brophy v. Philadelphia Gas Works should be certified because they had met the five requirements of class action certification under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1702 and the further requirements under Rule 1708.
