(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, January 7, 2026) Chemical manufacturers may have suffered a short-lived setback in their quest for statutory immunity from lawsuits due to their failure to warn those harmed by their products, but their campaign in Congress, state legislatures across the country, and the U.S. Supreme Court is continuing.<\/p>\n

On Monday, January 6, it was announced that a provision denying people the right to sue chemical companies for nondisclosure of product hazards had been dropped from the FY2026 funding bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. This summer, a provision passed by the House Appropriations Committee would have denied farmers, farmworkers, landscapers, gardeners, and consumers generally the right to sue companies that do not disclose on their product labels and in marketing information potential hazards associated with their products\u2019 use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the announcement that appropriations legislation moving through Congress does not contain a provision that would shield chemical manufacturers from lawsuits for their failure to warn those harmed by their products, we stress that the industry\u2019s campaign to escape accountability is proceeding with a fierce determination,\u201d said Jay Feldman, executive director of Beyond Pesticides.<\/p>\n

The chemical industry, spearheaded by the chemical giant Bayer\/Monsanto, in the last year has waged an all-out, multi-pronged campaign in the courts, Congress, and state legislatures to quash lawsuits by those who have been harmed, but not warned, about hazards associated with pesticide products. Over the last several years, Bayer\/Monsanto has been held to account for its failure to warn those harmed by their products, with over 10 billion dollars in jury verdicts and settlements in cases involving its weed killer RoundupTM<\/sup> (glyphosate). After the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that glyphosate is \u201cprobably carcinogenic to humans\u201d (Group 2A) in 2015 (see\u00a0Daily News\u00a0<\/em>here<\/a>), the EPA maintained its position that the weed killer is not carcinogenic and in 2019, refused to approve a cancer label warning<\/a>. (See\u00a0Daily News\u00a0<\/em>here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

U.S. Representative Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee,\u00a0who is leading the charge against the industry bill language, said, \u201cFor too long, powerful chemical companies like Bayer have spent billions lobbying Congress to override the voices of states, towns, and families who are simply trying to protect their health. Despite their relentless efforts and thanks to immense public pressure, we successfully stripped the industry-backed pesticides preemption rider, Section 453, from the final Interior and Environment funding bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is the chemical industry strategy:<\/p>\n

Push for a U.S. Supreme Court hearing.
\n<\/strong>In an\u00a0amicus brief<\/a>\u00a0published on December 1, 2025, the Office of the Solicitor General (SG) and the White House are calling on the U.S. Supreme Court (in Durnell v. Monsanto<\/em><\/a>) to grant certiorari on Bayer\u2019s petition to shield chemical companies that fail to warn people about the potential hazards of their pesticide products.\u00a0The SG argues that the pesticide product label is totally controlled by the federal government and that chemical manufacturers in compliance with the EPA pesticide registration process cannot be held to any other, presumably more stringent, standard. The Supreme Court is expected to decide on hearing the case next week.<\/p>\n

Push for Congress to pass legislation to shield chemical companies from failure-to-warn lawsuits.
\n<\/strong>The previous appropriations bill language, which may be attached to other legislative vehicles like the Farm Bill, effectively provides\u202ftotal pesticide immunity from lawsuits that challenge chemical manufacturers who withhold information on the harm that their products can cause. Public health and environmental advocates say that chemical companies have successfully lobbied for a weak federal pesticide law and then try to hide behind the law when sued for damages or failure to warn, telling the courts that their products are in compliance with pesticide registration standards and therefore they are not liable for harm or nondisclosure.\u00a0[The bill language is found here<\/a>. Search on Section 453.]<\/p>\n

Push for state legislation to prohibit lawsuits for failure to warn.
\n<\/strong>After years of large jury awards, preemptive settlements, and lost appeals in cases involving exposure to the weed killer glyphosate,\u00a0in 2024 launched\u00a0a campaign to stop the company\u2019s financial hemorrhaging with a state-by-state strategy to stop litigation for nondisclosure of the hazards associated with their products. To accomplish this, Bayer founded the\u00a0Modern Ag Alliance<\/a>, along with agribusiness groups including state Farm Bureaus, to stop what they describe as \u201cscientifically unsound lawsuits\u201d on the weed killer glyphosate.<\/p>\n

In late 2025, a\u00a0broad coalition<\/a>, including\u00a0Beyond Pesticides and over fifty organizations, coalitions, businesses, and leaders<\/a>, called on Congress not to include Section 453 language in any federal appropriations package for the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n

the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40680"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40693,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40680\/revisions\/40693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
