Roundup faces major legal wins for Bayer as it negotiates billions in Roundup lawsuits; its case shapes debates on pesticide safety and corporate accountability.
The Supreme Court has ruled 7-2 that federal pesticide law bars state failure-to-warn lawsuits over Roundup, overturning a $1.25m jury verdict and imperilling thousands of similar claims against Bayer. The decision follows the EPAs position that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer and clears the way for dismissal of many pending suits.
