MAHA Scores Major Congressional 'Win' Against Big Chem. But Will SCOTUS Intervene on Behalf of Pesticide Manufacturers?

[Hol]

On Monday, a massive backlash by MAHA groups scuttled an effort to incorporate an amendment into a congressional spending bill that would have provided legal immunity to chemical manufacturers.

…

Some 170,000 plaintiffs have filed suit against Monsanto-Bayer for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma they claim was caused by glyphosate, a chemical found in Roundup, a weedkiller produced by Monsanto. The company invested billions of dollars to lobby state legislatures and Congress to pass legislation that would provide legal immunity from law suits, so long as Monsanto-Bayer labels its products in conformity with federal labeling requirements.

Their congressional pressure failed. How will SCOTUS respond?

On January 9 , SCOTUS will consider whether to grant a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to Monsanto-Bayer in Durnell v Monsanto, a Missouri case which found that federal labeling requirements do not operate as a shield against state product liability claims (In layman’s terms, that means lawyers for the plaintiffs would request the lower court to send its records up to, in this instance, SCOTUS.)

I've sprayed a ton of roundup over the years. I buy the concentrate stuff and then mix to be 2 or 3 times the recommended strength so that it'll work...

I’ve used Roundup, and this debate isn’t about removing it from markets.

It’s about labeling products that are dangerous for some, so folks can make an informed choice.

It’s also a desire of manufacturers to gain total immunity from damages when some people are harmed. If they get immunity we can see more applications of these products, for example, sprayed all around elementary school yards at careless times, like just prior to recess or kids playing in baseball fields.
