NEWS RELEASE

Brockovitch Attorney Announces Massive Class Action Lawsuit Against Dentists

Maine Decides Today Whether To Ban the Use of "Silver Fillings"

April 25, 2001
For Immediate Release

One day after a News Conference in Washington D.C., where a massive class
action lawsuit against dentists in the U.S. was announced, hearings are taking
place in Maine to decide as to whether or not to ban the use of mercury dental
fillings in that state.

States Alan Sigel, the attorney who gained national notoriety for his role in
the 'Erin Brockovitch case, " Our lawsuit could change the face of dentistry in
America. There is absolutely no reason that this poison should be used in
peoples mouths. I applaud the efforts in Maine to ban the use of mercury.
Mercury is poisoning our environment and our citizens."

A news article in the April 20 edition of the Globe and Mail, Canada's national
newspaper,  stated that,  "dentists could be responsible for as much as 80% of
the mercury in sewage."

Two individual recent scientific studies conducted by the University of
Kentucky and the University of Calgary tied mercury poisoning to Alzheimer's
Disease.

The Class Action lawsuit announced by Mr. Sigel, will have far reaching impact.
Many more suits are expected to follow.
