Bayer Wins US Appeals Court Ruling in Roundup Cancer Case
Aug 15, 2024, 08:25 PM
Bayer achieved a significant legal victory in the United States concerning its Roundup weedkiller. A US appeals court ruled that federal law protects Bayer from a lawsuit by a Pennsylvania landscaper, which is part of the broader litigation over claims that Roundup causes cancer. This ruling by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Schaffner v. Monsanto suggests that one of the central claims against Bayer may not succeed in state court. This decision marks an important step for Bayer in limiting its liability in the ongoing legal battles surrounding its product.
