The U.S. Supreme Court has reversed a decision by the Missouri Court of Appeals that allowed state-law liability claims against Monsanto for failing to include a cancer warning on the label of its Roundup herbicide, ruling that federal pesticide-labeling requirements preempt the state-law claim at issue.

The Supreme Court's decision could have wide-ranging implications for thousands of other lawsuits brought against Monsanto, now owned by the Bayer corporation.
