EPA chief met with Bayer CEO over supreme court fight, agency records show
AI Summary
EPA officials, including the agency chief, met with Bayer CEO Bill Anderson in June 2023 to discuss "litigation" issues, including potential Supreme Court action related to Bayer's glyphosate-based weed killer, Roundup. The meeting occurred as Bayer faced numerous lawsuits alleging the product caused cancer due to a failure to warn consumers. Bayer seeks Supreme Court support for its argument that EPA's labeling decisions preempt failure-to-warn claims. Internal EPA emails indicate the meeting would cover Bayer's litigation status and labeling options. Shortly after the meeting, the Supreme Court requested the Trump administration's opinion on whether to hear Bayer's case, and the administration has since taken steps to support Bayer's position. Bayer maintains the meeting was a normal part of the regulatory process.
