The US. Supreme Court yesterday siding with German pharmaceutical company Bayer in a major legal battle closely watched by the MAHA community over cancer warning labels on popular weed killer Roundup. Roundup invented in the 1970s by agrochemical company Monsanto using glyphosate as its key active ingredient. The EPA approving glyphosate-based pesticides for sale in 1974 and repeatedly determining the products do not require a cancer warning. Bayer later acquiring Monsanto in 2018
In 2015, the World Health Organization's cancer research arm classifying glyphosate as quote, probably carcinogenic, citing evidence in animals and limited data in humans. That finding helping to trigger thousands of lawsuits from Roundup users diagnosed with cancer even as the EPA continued to maintain that glyphosate did not pose a cancer risk in humans.
The case before the High Court, Monsanto Company versus Dernell, beginning with a 2019 lawsuit filed in Missouri State Court by John Dernell, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after using Roundup for about 20 years. Dernell alleging Monsanto, now Bayer, failed to warn consumers about the weed killer's potential cancer risks. Monsanto argued its label was federally approved. A jury siding with Dernell on that claim, awarding $1.25 million in damages. The Missouri Court of Appeals upholding the verdict last year, finding the federal OK on Roundup's label, did not shield Bayer from a state failure to warn claim. After the Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear the case, Bayer appealing to the US. Supreme Court, asking the justices to decide whether federal law governing pesticide labels bars lawsuits seeking cancer warnings the EPA has not required. The Trump administration siding with Bayer in the case, arguing federal law preempted Durnall's claim. The position coming after President Trump in February invoked the Defense Production Act to boost domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides, describing them as critical to maintaining America's agricultural advantage and ensuring food safety, a move that infuriated MAHA moms nationwide. More on that in a minute.
In a 7-2 decision, the High Court finding federal law does preempt state failure to warn lawsuits over Roundup. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing for the majority that under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, or FIFRA, states cannot impose labeling or packaging requirements that differ from federal standards. Because Durnall's lawsuit would effectively require Bayer to add a cancer warning absent from the EPA-approved label, the majority finding it conflicts with FIFRA's requirement for nationally uniform pesticide labeling. Justice Kavanaugh writing, all told in accordance with EPA's view that glyphosate is not likely to cause cancer in humans, EPA has not required glyphosate-based pesticides like Roundup to include a cancer warning on their labels. He continues, therefore, as a matter of federal law, Monsanto legally must use a label without a cancer warning, unless and until EPA approves or requires a change.
