11TH CIRCUIT COURT'S COULD IMPACT THOUSANDS OF ROUNDUP LAWSUITS
May 28, 2024
Source: National Agricultural Law Center
The full Eleventh Circuit, Atlanta, GA, has denied Monsanto's request for a review of a panel's ruling that allows a Georgia doctor to pursue claims against the company over Roundup weedkiller. The panel's decision revived the doctor's state law failure-to-warn claim, rejecting Monsanto's argument that federal pesticide labeling requirements preempted it.
Monsanto's petition for rehearing was denied, leaving the panel's ruling intact.
This decision could impact thousands of pending lawsuits alleging Roundup's failure to warn about cancer risks. To learn more about the question of failure-to-warn claims in pesticide injury lawsuits click here.
