- Supreme Court blocks Roundup cancer lawsuit
The Supreme Court blocked a lawsuit alleging Roundup weed killer causes cancer, ruling 7-2 that federal law prevents state failure-to-warn claims against Monsanto. The decision overturned a $1.25 million award to plaintiff John Durnell, while a $7.25 billion class-action settlement remains pending. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing the ruling was based on a non-existent labeling requirement.
