Supreme Court Rules on Immigration, Bayer, Venezuela Quake, More

The court ruled that states cannot have differing labeling warning rules than federal law requires. Glyphosate, used in Roundup weedkiller, is the most commonly utilized herbicide in agriculture, and it has long been linked to cancer claims. The central issue in the Roundup case, filed by Missouri resident John Durnell, was who decides what should appear on a pesticide or insecticide label—and whether a federal law overrides state claims.

The Supreme Court on Thursday restricted Americans’ ability to sue pesticide makers over alleged health harms stemming from their products. In a 7-2 ruling, the court held that some claims that pesticide companies failed to warn users of their products’ health risks are blocked under federal law.
