Navigation Bayer files hold petitions in two Roundup cases with U.S. Supreme Court, including one from Florida
Bayer, through its indirect subsidiary Monsanto, has filed two hold petitions with the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases involving its Roundup pesticide, includong one from Florida.
The company filed the petitions April 18 in Johnson v. Monsanto from Oregon and Salas v. Monsanto from Florida, saying both cover the same federal preemption question as the prior Durnell v. Monsanto petition about whether state-based claims that rely on failure-to-warn theories are both expressly and impliedly preempted by federal law.
Parties file hold petitions when, as here, the same question of law cuts across multiple cases. The petitions ask the Supreme Court to grant the petition in Durnell and hold the Johnson and Salas cases pending final resolution of that case.
