Exhibit 077 · Court opinion

Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, No. 24-1068, 609 U.S. ___

FIFRA expressly preempts Durnell's state-law failure-to-warn claim because the claim would require Monsanto to add a cancer warning to Roundup's label.

Held 7–2 (Kavanaugh, J., for the Court; Jackson, J., dissenting, joined by Gorsuch, J.) that FIFRA expressly preempts a state failure-to-warn claim that would require a cancer warning on Roundup's EPA-approved label. Reversed a Missouri verdict of more than $1 million. The opinion's account of EPA's cancer conclusions cites the Ninth Circuit's 2022 decision vacating EPA's 2020 glyphosate decision.
