The Justice Department’s Solicitor General supports a Supreme Court review of the case in which a man diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma sued Bayer over the use of Roundup. The case focuses on whether state laws demanding a cancer warning on Roundup preempt federal law where it is not required. Bayer CEO Bill Anderson said “the support of the U.S. government is an important step and good news for U.S. farmers who need regulatory clarity.” A Supreme Court decision could impact thousands of other Roundup lawsuits.
