I would like a general number, but lets say Michigan if you want to be specific.

There is no general number. That's not the standard. The issue is whether all the members of the "class" can be readily identified. For example, when they thought the silicon breast implants were dangerous, or tobacco, they lacked a method to identify all persons who may have been harmed. A class can be very small if the individuals cannot be readily found and identified. Of course, if the number is huge, like in the tobacco litigation, that's a very significant factor, also.

Class-actions lawsuits do not require a particular size. It depends entirely on the issue being litigated. There are a number of factors that judges use to determine whether a class-action is appropriate and size is only one of them.

I don't think it is as much the size as it is that each member has to show that they were affected in a similar way to be part of a class action.
