Their bodies are still developing.
There's no warning on the bottle telling parents that this chemical can soak through skin or that it's been linked to cancer or that it could disrupt hormones during critical developmental windows.
It can actually affect sexual development in the womb and cause genital abnormalities.
So, um,
It can really also affect child's fertility later in life.
And if parents walked into a store, Ben, and they saw a label that said warning linked to cancer absorbed through the skin, not safe for children, a lot of them would put it right back on the shelf.
And so that's the point.
Bayer has billions of dollars on the line.
They know that informed consent changes behavior.
And so instead, they're wanting the Supreme Court Friday to say that once the EPA signs off,
Even if that approval was based on manipulated data, that companies will be untouchable.
Even if new evidence emerges, kids are going to pay the price.
And so this is bigger than one company.
What the American people need to understand is that if Bayer wins, this opens the door to immunity for all 57,000 pesticide products regulated under federal law that are linked to cancer, Parkinson's, infertility.
It would even protect foreign companies, chemical companies, Chinese manufacturers selling products in the United States that are banned in their own country.
So we are potentially looking, Ben, at the United States government awarding immunity for bioterrorism.
And this is a big deal because if you remember, we basically have been through this before, but with vaccines.
So back in the 80s, you know, it was ruled that you can't sue vaccine companies if you're injured.
