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

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