Does a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision affect how Minnesota can warn of pesticide health dangers?
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Monsanto v. Durnell that states cannot impose pesticide warnings differing from federal standards, affecting Minnesota's ability to label glyphosate-based Roundup with additional health warnings. The 7-2 decision overturned a Missouri jury's award to a farmer who claimed Roundup caused his cancer, citing federal preemption of state strict liability doctrines.
