While the Third Circuit held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempted plaintiffs’ state failure-to-warn claims, prior rulings from the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits on the same issue rejected Monsanto’s preemption arguments.

What You Need to Know

  • The Third Circuit ruled that a federal statute regulating pesticides prohibits states from imposing pesticide label requirements that differ from national regulations.
  • The ruling splits from two other circuit court holdings on the issue.
  • The opinion lends support to Monsanto in its efforts to fend off Roundup plaintiffs’ state failure-to-warn claims.

Monsanto has scored a legal win on a heavily litigated issue within the Roundup litigation.

In a departure from several earlier circuit court rulings, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held Thursday that a federal statute regulating pesticides prohibits states from imposing pesticide label requirements that differ from national regulations. The three-judge panel unanimously ruled that the federal law therefore barred plaintiffs’ claims that Monsanto had a duty under Pennsylvania law to include a cancer warning on labels for Roundup.
