Supreme Court decision on glyphosate liability

Roundup and other herbicides containing glyphosate are freely used here in the United States, but banned in Europe. That’s because the chemical has been linked to cancer – and manufacturer Bayer has been sued hundreds of thousands of times as a result. But the United States Supreme Court ruled in a 7 to 2 decision late last month that the company can’t be sued for failing to warn of Roundup’s potential health hazards.
