(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, June 25, 2026) The Supreme Court today, in a 7-2 decision, issued a ruling that prohibits, under current federal law, the right of those harmed by pesticides to sue manufacturers for their failure to warn consumers of potential hazards on their product labels. The decision effectively shields manufacturers from failure to warn lawsuits. See opinion <\/em>here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court\u2019s decision today is a tragic setback for public and environmental health, allowing companies that produce toxic pesticides to evade the most basic of responsibilities, warning consumers that their products may cause cancer and other deadly diseases,\u201d said Jay Feldman, executive director of Beyond Pesticides, a national health and environmental group. \u201cIn an age of deregulation, the ability of farmers, farmworkers, and consumers to hold chemical manufacturers accountable for hazard warnings is the keystone to minimum protection of public health, as demand in the market for the safest possible products grows daily,\u201d Mr. Feldman continued.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court case, Monsanto v. Durnell<\/em><\/a> [24-1068], pits the manufacturer of the weed killer glyphosate, sold as RoundupTM<\/sup>, against a cancer patient with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma who was awarded $1.25 million in 2023 because the product label information provided no warning. The decision will vacate, or undo, billions of dollars in jury verdicts against Monsanto.<\/p>\n

Before the Supreme Court heard the case on April 1, a statement decrying chemical company secrecy was released by over 200 grassroots, health, farm, farmworker, environmental, and consumer groups, socially responsible corporations, over 385 citizens from 47 states and the District of Columbia, and international partners. With support of the Trump administration, Bayer\/Monsanto argues it should not be required to disclose on its product labels the potential cancer hazards of its pesticide products. Decades of jurisprudence have upheld the legal argument that chemical companies are liable for their failure to warn users of their pesticides about the harm that they could cause. Bayer\/Monsanto wants to stop litigation and reverse years of case law and billions of dollars in jury verdicts in which the company has been held liable for causing cancer but not warning product users. [See statement, Stop Chemical Company Secrecy of Pesticide Product Hazards<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

The U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision shields manufacturers from liability associated with those who are harmed but not warned about pesticides\u2019 adverse effects like cancer, neurological or immunological conditions, reproductive dysfunction, and other chronic illnesses. The court establishes liability immunity under federal pesticide law, finding that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act<\/em> \u201cpreempts a state-law failure-to-warn claim concerning a pesticide registered by [the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] EPA, where the agency has determined that a particular warning is not required and the warning cannot be added to a product label without EPA approval.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s decision is preceded by thousands of successful lawsuits and settlements against Bayer\/Monsanto for the company’s failure to warn about long-term hazards on their RoundupTM<\/sup> product label. While EPA does not recognize glyphosate to be cancer-causing, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, finds it to be \u201cprobably carcinogenic to humans.\u201d Lawyers for plaintiffs against Monsanto argued that the company sought to hide behind a weak regulatory review process, while juries issued verdicts that held the company responsible for failing to warn of the chemical product’s potential adverse effects. The total number of jury verdicts amounts to billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages that the Supreme Court is wiping away with its decision, while putting end to pending cases of over a hundred thousand additional plaintiffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Court is overturning (reversing) its 2005 decision in Bates v. Dow Agrosciences<\/em><\/a>, 544 U.S. 431<\/a> (see analysis<\/a>), which affirmed EPA’s approved pesticide product label as minimum protection, without releasing manufacturers of the responsibility to seek approval for a label that exceeds EPA’s minimum requirements. Pesticide manufacturers propose the text for their product labels and EPA ensures compliance with its minimum requirements, which does not preclude them from disclosing potential adverse effects they know or should have known about. EPA does not require a cancer warning (or other chronic effects) typically on pesticide product labels, even when the agency and the chemical manufacturer have identified a harm, including cancer, under EPA’s risk assessment review that it deems \u201cacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Court in the Bates case made the important point that the notion of liability \u201cemphasizes the importance of providing an incentive to manufacturers to use the utmost care in the business of distributing inherently dangerous items.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond Pesticides joined an amicus brief<\/a> filed in the Supreme Court in April and led by Center for Food Safety<\/a> (CFS), which challenged Bayer\/Monsanto\u2019s position that it should not be held liable for failing to warn consumers that the use of their pesticide products could cause cancer or other diseases.<\/p>\n

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\/41953","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=41953"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41955,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41953\/revisions\/41955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
