Case overview
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments April 27, 2026 in Durnell v. Monsanto Co., No. 23-1019, on whether FIFRA preempts state failure-to-warn claims—a ruling expected by June 2026 that could extinguish most pending litigation. Bayer has paid approximately $11-16 billion to settle roughly 100,000-130,000 claims, with 61,000-65,000 active claims remaining and a $7.25 billion class settlement pending final approval. MDL 2741, In re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation, sits before Judge Vince Chhabria in the Northern District of California with approximately 4,500 federal cases pending.
Causation Theory
The WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A) in 2015 based on limited evidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in rodents. A June 2025 Ramazzini Institute study in Environmental Health found dose-related increases in benign and malignant tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to glyphosate at EU acceptable daily intake levels, providing "robust evidence supporting IARC's conclusion." A March 2025 prospective study in Scientific Reports linked urinary glyphosate to 40% increased all-cause mortality. The EPA maintains glyphosate is "not likely to be carcinogenic," creating the regulatory split that defines causation disputes at trial.
