- Opinion: Supreme Court ruling on Roundup points to a confusing difference between the law and science
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Monsanto in Roundup litigation, stating federal pesticide law preempts state failure-to-warn claims when the EPA has not mandated a cancer warning on the product label. The case, Monsanto v. Durnell, did not resolve whether Roundup causes cancer but focused on legal preemption under federal law.
