What's really important for you to understand is that this would apply to over 57,000 pesticide products currently on the market.
So we're talking about weed killers.
We're talking about bug sprays, ant traps, disinfectants, chemicals used in homes, backyards, schools, playgrounds, chemicals that many families, your family might assume are safe because they're sold at the store and they don't have a warning label.
The part that makes this even more disturbing is that the EPA approved Roundup without a cancer warning based on science that we now know was fraudulent.
So one of the key studies that the EPA relied on was ghostwritten by Monsanto.
Their own internal emails prove it.
And just recently, that study was officially retracted in the last month.
So Bayer is asking the Supreme Court to protect them using an approval that was based on fake science.
And that should really stop everybody cold because when real people, juries, were allowed to hear the full truth, they overwhelmingly held Monsanto responsible.
Five appellate courts upheld those verdicts because juries saw what regulators didn't.
They saw that Monsanto never tested the actual Roundup formula for long-term cancer risk.
They saw internal emails where Monsanto scientists admitted, you can't say that Roundup doesn't cause cancer.
We haven't done the testing.
They saw evidence showing that Roundup absorbs through the skin and that matters for kids because parents are spraying Roundup
on playgrounds, on lawns, around swing sets.
Kids are running barefoot.
They fall.
They crawl.
You know, their skin is thinner.
