Supreme Court rules federal law preempts state failure-to-warn lawsuits against Roundup maker.
The US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts state-law failure-to-warn lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers. The decision overturns a $1.25 million jury award to John Durnell, a Missouri man who claimed Roundup caused his non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and is expected to block thousands of similar pending lawsuits against Bayer.
