Listen live: Supreme Court hears case that could limit pesticide liability
The Supreme Court is hearing a case that could limit liability for pesticide manufacturers, particularly concerning Roundup, a weedkiller linked to cancer. This case follows a Missouri jury's $1.25 million award to a man who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup.
