Bayer Wins Supreme Court Challenge over Roundup Litigation
Dow Jones06-25

In a 7-2 decision, the court said the pharmaceutical and agriculture company can't be held liable under state law for failing to warn about the alleged risk when a federal regulator -- the Environmental Protection Agency -- didn't require the product to carry a warning label.
