- Appeals court finds warning claims are trumped by federal law
- Ruling could set up case for review by the US Supreme Court
Bayer AG scored a significant win in its long-running cancer litigation over its Roundup weedkiller with a US appeals court ruling that suggests one of the central claims against the company may fail in state court.
A three-judge panel in Philadelphia concluded Thursday that federal regulations governing the pesticide’s warning label supersede Pennsylvania laws under which a Roundup user in the state claimed Bayer’s Monsanto unit should have warned them about cancer risks. The majority of the current cases against the company are in state courts.
