SIGN THE PETITION to pass the People Over Poison Act, which would reverse the Supreme Court's flawed ruling: tinyurl.com/ReverseSupremeCourt
On June 25, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) threw Americans under the bus, siding with Bayer-Monsanto in Monsanto v. Durnell, further shielding pesticide manufacturers from liability when their products cause harm.
In the majority were Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh (author of the opinion), Clarence Thomas, Elena Kagan, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and Sonia Sotomayor. The dissenting justices were Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch.
The Supreme Court's ruling was based on the argument that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the law governing EPA’s oversight of pesticides, does not require pesticide labels to warn of cancer risks beyond the weak labeling requirements approved by the EPA. State-law claims seeking damages for the absence of such warnings are thus preempted by federal law.
This ruling is a travesty of justice and a slap in the face of all of Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup cancer victims. Our U.S. Representatives and Senators can and must reverse the ruling.
