"Many prominent figures in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement said they felt betrayed Thursday after the Supreme Court ruled that Bayer, the manufacturer of Roundup, did not need to warn consumers of a potential cancer risk associated with its weed killer.
The ruling is likely to prevent thousands of lawsuits from arguing in state courts that Roundup should come with a cancer warning."

in reply to Bich Nguyen • • •That summary of the ruling is wrong.
It's not that the manufacturer did or did not need to warn consumers but that federal law BARRED it from altering its label.
It would have been illegal, under federal law, for the company to make that warning.
Maybe the law needs to be changed, but for now that's what the law is, and the Supreme Court merely said states can't overrule federal law.
