U.S. Supreme Court Limits Cancer Lawsuits Over Roundup Herbicide
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled June 27, 2024 in favor of Roundup's manufacturer, blocking thousands of lawsuits alleging failure to warn about cancer risks. The 7-2 decision overturned a $1.25 million award to a man with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, citing federal pesticide law. Bayer shares surged nearly 18%, though activists condemned the ruling as a blow to public health.
