reposting public from someone's limited post. i think this seems too important not to share openly.


The Bayer-Monsanto Protection Act on Steroids is Rolling Out Across the Country. Is Your State Passing the Legislation? - GMO / Toxin Free USA
Bayer-Monsanto has been hardest hit by pesticide litigation. Roundup lawsuits, which have been in the news for the last several years, are a huge financial drain. Approximately 167,000 lawsuits have been filed by people who claim they developed cancer, primarily non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, from their exposure to Roundup. The litigation has cost the company billions of dollars and its shares have plummeted, with a market capitalization now at less than half of what it paid to acquire Monsanto. And it’s not over by a long shot.

Bayer’s latest strategy is to pass laws, state by state, that take away farmers’ and other individuals’ ability to sue if they get sick. If passed, the bills would protect Bayer (and others) against claims it “failed to warn” people about the potential health harms of Roundup, or any other pesticide produced, as long as the product is labeled in accordance with EPA regulations. This means that Bayer’s cancer victims would no longer be given their day in court and no future lawsuits would be allowed.
