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

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that federal law preempts state liability claims against Monsanto over Roundup's labeling, overturning a $1.25 million verdict awarded to a Missouri man who claimed the herbicide caused his non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The decision, with Justice Kavanaugh's majority opinion and Justice Jackson's dissent, held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) regulates pesticide labels, preventing states from imposing additional requirements.
