Seed Fungicide Panogen Case Seeks Supreme Court Review
Two companies that make Panogen seed fungicide seek Supreme Court review of federal authority to ban a mercury containing product. The case centers on Hardin and USDA enforcement under the prior act and the 1970 Alamogordo poisoning incident that led to a registration cancellation. The firms claim irreparable harm and a $40,000 loss, arguing Panogen’s long use and farmers’ benefits outweigh a single disaster.
