Ag Law Center Webinar Covers Glyphosate Legal Matters

The National Ag Law Center recently held a webinar covering the latest legal issues facing glyphosate, one of the most common herbicides utilized in the United States. The product is the focus of many legal cases and is under review by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for registration. The product is registered for use under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and it's widely used for in crop use over roundup ready seed products. Most of the legal challenges highlighted during the webinar are civil claims against the manufacturer for injury against human health and product design defects among other claims.

While the EPA and many other scientific reviews have determined glyphosate is not carcinogenic, some suits have sided with plaintiffs and provided them substantial relief. The legal issues are evolving at multiple levels in multiple court jurisdictions.
