Roundup Mass Tort Update A defense verdict in the 7th Philadelphia Roundup trial last Friday was a tough result, breaking a streak of four Plaintiff victories in the jurisdiction where hundreds of millions of dollars were awarded. The stakes have only gotten higher since Monsanto’s big win in August 2024, when the Third Circuit ruled that FIFRA pre-empts failure-to-warn claims. This decision conflicts with several other court rulings, creating a direct path for Monsanto to seek Supreme Court review. Monsanto has confirmed it plans to file a certiorari petition by 2025, with a potential Supreme Court decision coming in the 2025-2026 term. Even with a favorable ruling, the company faces significant challenges, as Plaintiffs can still pursue other viable claims. While Monsanto sees a possible endgame, plenty of fight remains in this litigation. #MassTorts #Roundup #LitigationUpdate
