THE SUPREME COURT’S CANCER CONTROVERSY Do health concerns from the general public outweigh government guidance? This is the question at the heart of tens of thousands of lawsuits filed by U.S. citizens against Bayer/Monsanto, the makers of the popular weed killer Roundup. The litigation claims that glyphosate, a chemical found in the product, is a carcinogen that caused the plaintiffs’ cancer. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) disagrees, arguing that the chemical is unlikely to be carcinogenic when used appropriately. Late last year, Solicitor General D. John Sauer requested that the Supreme Court review the matter. Sauer has publicly stated his support of the EPA’s authority in determining the health risks associated with glyphosate, adding that current federal pesticide laws should be allowed to overrule state-level attempts to sue Monsanto and similar manufacturers for failing to warn consumers of potentially hazardous chemicals. If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees, thousands of existing lawsuits could be shut down or greatly limited.
