A federal appeals court just delivered 'a historic victory for farmworkers and the environment.'
"A group of petitioners challenged EPA's decision, arguing, among other things, that EPA did not adequately consider whether glyphosate causes cancer and shirked its duties under the Endangered Species Act," the ruling continues."We agree and remand to the agency for further consideration."
"While it comes too late for many farmworkers and landscapers who suffer after glyphosate exposure," she said,"we are grateful for the court's ruling, and hope that now EPA will act quickly to protect future workers from illness and disease resulting from this toxic pesticide." "Because of this lawsuit, the agency's obstruction of the regulatory process will not be allowed to stand," Feldman added,"and EPA should start shifting food production to available alternative non- and less-toxic practices and materials that meet its statutory duty."
The Supreme Court could accept or reject the petition from Monsanto, now owned by Bayer AG, as soon as next week. A grant and subsequent ruling in the company's favor incould potentially upend thousands of similar lawsuits over the company's failure to warn about the product's cancer risks.
