The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that federal law preempts state lawsuits over Roundup weedkiller's cancer risks, blocking thousands of pending claims. The decision prioritizes federal regulatory approval over state liability standards.
The EPA approved Roundup. States said the approval was wrong and let their own courts hear cancer cases. The Supreme Court just said states don't get to override federal regulatory judgment, even for injury claims. It's not saying Roundup is safe—it's saying only the federal government gets to decide, and once federal regulators approve something, states can't create liability for it. This is a massive win for chemical and pharmaceutical companies. It means once the FDA or EPA approves a product, injured people have almost no path to compensation in court.
