Monsanto Company v. Pilliod
Petition for certiorari denied on June 27, 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 a punitive-damages award that is a
fourfold multiple of a substantial compensatory-damages award violates the 14th Amendment’s
due process clause when the defendant, Monsanto Company, acted in accordance with the scientific and regulatory consensus
regarding the safety of its product.
