Supreme Court Ruling Deals Major Blow to Roundup Cancer Lawsuits

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that federal law blocks state failure-to-warn lawsuits against Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, regarding Roundup weed killer labels. The decision holds that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempts state claims seeking cancer warnings on EPA-approved Roundup labels, marking a setback for cancer patients pursuing legal action.
