Supreme Court Limits Roundup Cancer Lawsuits Against Bayer's Monsanto
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision that Bayer cannot be sued over state-level claims related to failure-to-warn about cancer risks from its weedkiller Roundup and glyphosate, citing federal preemption under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This is seen as a major win for Bayer following its 2018 acquisition of Monsanto.
