Missouri House backs legal shield for Roundup maker
The Missouri House approved a bill shielding Bayer and the Roundup maker from future cancer warning lawsuits by deeming federally approved pesticide labels sufficient. The 91 to 57 vote backed the measure as it moves to the Senate, with critics warning it could shield harm cases. The bill’s support stems from protecting farmers and chemical supply, though opponents fear it delays accountability.
