00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Beyer's bid to limit lawsuits alleging its
00:07Roundup weed killer causes cancer, according to Reuters.
00:10The case centers on whether federal pesticide labeling law overrides state warning requirements.
00:17A Missouri appeals court upheld a $1.25 million verdict for a plaintiff who said he developed
00:22non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup.
00:25Beyer faces about 65,000 similar lawsuits.
00:28The company argues the Environmental Protection Agency found no cancer risk and does not
00:33require a warning label.
00:35The court is expected to rule by the end of June.
00:38Beyer reached a $7.25 billion proposed settlement in February with final approval pending.
00:44Plaintiffs must decide by June 4th whether to opt out before the ruling.
