The U.S. Supreme Court will hear Monsanto’s argument that federal pesticide law should shield it and parent company Bayer from tens of thousands of state lawsuits over Roundup since the Environmental Protection Agency has not required a cancer warning label. The case could determine whether federal rules preempt state failure-to-warn claims without deciding whether glyphosate causes cancer.
Whilst the headline correctly says “may”, let’s hope that this is more that they will consider the option of upholding the rights to allow damages payments.
