The Supreme Court agreed with Bayer that plaintiffs cannot claim the \u200bGerman company violated U.S. state laws by failing to warn about any cancer risk posed by Roundup because the U.S. Environmental Protection \u200bAgency has found no such risk and requires no such warning on the product&#8217;s label.<\/div><h2>WHAT OTHER LITIGATION IS BAYER FACING?<\/h2><div>Bayer \u2060is facing claims over Roundup from approximately 65,000 plaintiffs in U.S. state and federal courts. In lawsuits filed beginning in 2015, plaintiffs have said \u200bthey developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other forms of cancer after using the weedkiller at home or on the job. Roundup is among the most widely used \u200bweedkillers in the United States. Bayer has said decades of studies have shown Roundup and its active ingredient, glyphosate, are safe for human use.<\/div><h2>DOES THE RULING END ALL ROUNDUP LITIGATION?<\/h2><div>No. The ruling eliminates one type of claim \u2014 that Bayer failed to follow state laws when it did not include a warning about cancer risk on its label. \u200bMost of the lawsuits involve multiple claims by plaintiffs alleging the company is liable for their cancer diagnoses.<\/div><div>Failure-to-warn claims were part of most Roundup lawsuits \u200band are generally considered easier to prove than other legal theories. Those claims are now preempted by federal law.<\/div><div>Plaintiffs also have accused Bayer of being negligent and misrepresenting \u200cRoundup&#8217;s safety \u2060in its marketing, and have alleged that the product was defective for its intended purpose. Those claims can continue.<\/div><div>Bayer could try to argue in those cases that the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling should doom the remaining claims.<\/div><h2>WHAT IS BAYER&#8217;S PROPOSED SETTLEMENT?<\/h2><div>In February, after the Supreme Court had agreed to hear its appeal in Durnell&#8217;s case, Bayer announced that it had reached a $7.25 billion settlement with attorneys seeking to represent a nationwide class of people who have said \u200bRoundup exposure caused their cancer. The deal \u200bis aimed at resolving most \u2060of the remaining lawsuits as well as potential lawsuits from people who already have been exposed to Roundup and develop cancer in the future. A state court judge in Missouri gave an initial green light in March to the \u200bproposed settlement. Several people have objected to the settlement, and the judge will consider final approval of the deal \u200bat a future court hearing.<\/div><h2>WHAT \u2060DOES THE RULING MEAN FOR THE SETTLEMENT?<\/h2><div>The Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling does not change the terms of the settlement, and Bayer said it remains committed to moving forward with the deal it reached in February.<\/div><div>Plaintiffs were given a June 4 deadline to decide whether to opt out of the settlement and pursue their individual \u2060cases in \u200bcourt, forcing them to choose whether to settle without knowing the Supreme Court&#8217;s final decision.<\/div><div>Lawyers \u200bwho negotiated the settlement said the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling vindicates their decision to make a deal and lock in funds for cancer victims before the issuance of the decision.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Diana Novak Jones\" class=\"wp-image-496\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1b33033e93035d69d91708968ff12fe2.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Diana Novak Jones<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2950\">Elon Musk ordered to testify in election lottery cases; one lawsuit may be narrowed<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2948\">Oil prices climb 2% on new supply worries after cargo ship hit near Oman<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2946\">Ferrari\u2019s divisive new EV car needs to be \u2018digested\u2019, company exec says<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of lawsuits allege the German company&#8217;s Roundup weedkiller causes cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2951,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[44,153,80,122],"class_list":["post-2952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-consumer-protection","tag-corporate-structure","tag-judiciary","tag-lawsuits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What does Bayer&#039;s US Supreme Court win mean for the thousands of Roundup lawsuits?
