The U.S. Supreme Court this week denied an effort by Bayer to stem thousands of lawsuits alleging its Roundup weedkiller caused cancer among landscapers and residential gardeners. On Alan Meadows’s Tennessee farm, it was business as usual.
As the top U.S. court declined Tuesday to hear Bayer’s appeal of a 2018 jury verdict linking the company’s herbicide to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a California plaintiff, Mr. Meadows said he was spraying the chemical on his own 4,000-acre farm, which he said he has done since the 1990s.
