The U.S. Supreme Court has requested the Justice Department’s opinion on whether to hear Bayer’s appeal regarding lawsuits claiming that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, as reported by Reuters. Bayer is seeking to limit such lawsuits, which could potentially save the company billions in damages. The appeal stems from a Missouri case where a jury awarded $1.25 million to a plaintiff who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup.

Bayer argues that federal law, which governs pesticide labeling through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), preempts state law claims. The company contends that it cannot add cancer warnings to Roundup’s label without violating federal regulations, as the EPA has found no evidence linking glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, to cancer. However, the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld the jury’s verdict, and similar rulings have been made in other courts.

PFAS on Kids’ Skin After Turf Play? What California Families Should Know

For millions of California families, weekends are spent at the soccer pitch, football field, or local park. Increasingly, these green spaces are made not of natural grass, but of artificial turf. Touted for their durability and low water usage, these fields have become a staple in schools and communities. However, a recent news report is raising new questions about the chemical safety of these playing surfaces, leaving parents to wonder if their kids are being exposed to hidden dangers.

A report by The National Desk highlighted a small, preliminary study that has ignited fresh concerns. The study, conducted by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), found that after playing on artificial turf, players and coaches had detectable increases of certain “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS, on their skin. While the science is still emerging, the findings point to a potential exposure pathway that many parents never considered. At Walch Law, we believe families deserve clear information about potential risks and their legal rights. This guide explains the new concerns about PFAS on turf and what California families should know.
