US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Bayer (BAYN GY) to limit lawsuits in State courts around claims that Roundup causes cancer

News detail

In the Monsanto (i.e. Bayer) vs Durnell case; the court holds that FIFRA pre-empts (that is, trumps) Durnell's claim under state law. "But Durnell’s state tort claim would require Monsanto to add a cancer warning to Roundup’s label even though federal law requires Monsanto to use the EPA-approved label without a cancer warning. Because Durnell’s state tort claim would impose a pesticide labeling requirement “in addition to or different from” the label required by EPA, FIFRA expressly preempts Durnell’s claim"
