Episode Details

The Supreme Court just sided with Bayer in a landmark Roundup ruling, blocking thousands of state lawsuits claiming the weedkiller causes cancer. The decision hinges on federal regulators’ finding that glyphosate isn’t likely carcinogenic, and the court says state courts can’t override that. While plaintiffs like John Durnell argue the product’s design was dangerous, attorneys say design-focused claims may still survive. Bayer, already facing billions in settlements, is pushing for state laws to shield it from liability—and even threatens to pull glyphosate from U.S. markets if litigation continues, potentially disrupting food supply chains. This case pits corporate liability against public health concerns in a politically charged showdown.
