Supreme Court Affirms Bayer's Immunity from State Claims Over Roundup Cancer Risks
- The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Bayer cannot be sued under state law for failing to warn about cancer risks associated with Roundup, citing federal law preemption.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized that the EPA's determination of glyphosate's safety preempts state tort law regarding labeling requirements.
- Bayer anticipates that the ruling will help contain ongoing litigation related to Roundup, potentially dismissing current and future failure-to-warn claims.
