Bayer has achieved a legal victory as a US appeals court ruled that federal law protects the company from a lawsuit claiming its Roundup weed killer causes cancer. The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a Pennsylvania landscaper's claim for failing to include a cancer warning on Roundup's label. This ruling is significant for Bayer, which has faced thousands of claims related to Roundup, as it could lessen the company's legal liabilities. Bayer's shares rose sharply following the decision.
