Monsanto Company v. Hardeman
Petition for certiorari denied on June 21, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempts a state-law failure-to-warn claim when the warning cannot be added to a
product without the Environmental Protection Agency's approval and the EPA has repeatedly concluded that the warning is not appropriate; and (2) whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s standard for admitting expert testimony — which departs from other
circuits’ standards — is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s
precedent and Federal Rule of Evidence 702. CVSG: 5/10/2022
