    The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Bayer, blocking numerous lawsuits alleging failure to warn about Roundup's cancer risks.

    Bayer acquired Roundup through its purchase of Monsanto in 2018 and has faced thousands of lawsuits, including multibillion-dollar verdicts.

  • 3

    The ruling prevents state-level failure-to-warn lawsuits, as federal regulations do not require a cancer warning label for Roundup.

    Bayer has set aside $16 billion for settlements and proposed a $7.25 billion class-action settlement to resolve remaining claims.

    Environmental groups criticized the ruling, stating it undermines public health and limits compensation for individuals harmed by pesticides.
