On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, No. 24-1068, resolving a circuit split over whether the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts state law failure-to-warn claims challenging EPA-approved pesticide labels. In a 7-2 opinion, the Court held that FIFRA expressly preempts state tort claims that would require a manufacturer to add or modify warnings on a pesticide label, at least where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated the relevant risk and approved the label, whether with warnings reflecting the agency’s assessment or without a corresponding warning.
