While Bayer had hoped for a Supreme Court ruling that would stop lawsuits, the company 'continues to stand fully behind its Roundup' and is prepared to defend the product in court.
WASHINGTON, USA – The US Supreme Court on Monday, June 27, rejected another Bayer AG bid to dismiss litigation alleging that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer as the German pharmaceutical and chemical giant tries to avoid potentially billions of dollars in damages.
“The company will only consider resolving outstanding current cases and claims if it is strategically advantageous to do so,” Blank said in a statement. Bayer, which also makes aspirin, Yasmin birth-control pills, and the stroke prevention drug Xarelto among other products, has lost three trials in which Roundup users have been awarded tens of millions of dollars in each, while also winning four trials. Bayer pinned hopes for relief on the conservative-majority Supreme Court, which has a reputation for being pro-business.
On June 17, a US appeals court ordered the EPA to take a fresh look at whether glyphosate poses unreasonable risks to humans and the environment. The San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with several environmental, farm worker, and food safety advocacy groups that the EPA did not adequately consider whether glyphosate causes cancer and threatens endangered species.
