3 years is the "general" statute of limitation on most class actions such as intentional tort, quasi-contract, and the likes.

However, there are exceptions to that and they vary widely and extend as long as 10 years as in the following example:

"....suing under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), which has a statute of limitations of ten years and concerns torts relating to personal injury, not property."

The statute of limitations for class actions suits is the same as it is for whatever area the lawsuit is in-personal injury, medical malpractice, etc-and the statutes for the different types of lawsuits vary from state to state. The same goes with libel.
