Episode Details

The Supreme Court just handed a major win to Monsanto, ruling that state courts can’t hold pesticide companies liable for labeling issues—federal law reigns supreme. In a 7-2 decision, the Court overturned a $1.25 million verdict awarded to a man who claimed Roundup caused his cancer, saying the EPA-approved label meets all legal standards and states can’t impose stricter warnings. Justice Kavanaugh’s majority opinion insists FIFRA gives federal agencies final say, while Justice Jackson’s dissent warns the ruling ignores consumer protection and wrongly dismisses individual harm claims. This decision locks in federal control over pesticide labeling, shutting down state-level lawsuits that challenge federal regulations.
