US Supreme Court hands win to Monsanto in Missouri case tied to claims Roundup causes cancer

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that state courts cannot hold companies liable for labeling shortcomings in pesticides like Monsanto's Roundup, as federal law preempts such claims. The decision overturned a $1.25 million Missouri verdict awarded to John Durnell, who claimed Roundup caused his cancer, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing the majority opinion and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.
