WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on June 25 blocked thousands of lawsuits over the weedkiller Roundup, ruling that the manufacturer can’t be sued for failing to warn that the popular product might cause cancer.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates pesticides, has not determined that Roundup poses a cancer risk and does not require a label saying it does.
In a 7-2 decision, the justices said that means Roundup users who’ve developed cancer cannot sue by claiming the weed killer violates state laws about dangerous products.
Their decision rejects a role for state laws if federal protections fall short.
Bayer, the global agrochemical manufacturer that bought Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, is facing billions of dollars in potential liability from a deluge of lawsuits over glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup.
While Bayer has stopped using glyphosate in Roundup products sold for residential use, the company has said it might have to stop selling glyphosate to U.S. farmers if the lawsuits continue. Major agricultural groups warned that would pose a "devastating risk to America’s food supply.”
