United States — Supreme Court of the United States & Bayer

United States — Supreme Court of the United States: The Court issued a 7-2 decision authored by Justice Kavanaugh, establishing that FIFRA preempts state failure-to-warn claims when EPA has not required a warning.

Bayer: Bayer is the primary beneficiary; the ruling shields it from thousands of failure-to-warn lawsuits, reducing litigation risk and boosting investor confidence. Shares rose ~18%.

Bayer: Bayer has agreed to a proposed $7.25 billion settlement to resolve thousands of lawsuits alleging its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, aiming to reduce litigation uncertainty and financial strain. This settlement is crucial for Bayer's financial survival and ability to continue selling Roundup in agricultural markets.
