The Supreme Court could limit Americans’ ability to sue pesticide makers over alleged health harms from their products in a case that saw oral arguments on Monday.
At issue is whether people can sue pesticide-makers such as Monsanto for failing to warn consumers of alleged health harms stemming from their products.
