Monsanto Company v. Pilliod
Petition for certiorari denied on June 27, 2022.
Issue
(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.
