Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is taking a stance that federal pesticide labeling requirements should satisfy state regulations as legal battles continue over glyphosate-based products. Hanaway expressed her position clearly, stating: “Look, if there’s an EPA warning that’s prescribed for any herbicide or pesticide, that should be enough in Missouri.”
Her comments come during a period when both state legislators and the U.S. Supreme Court are examining various legal disputes connected to glyphosate, the active ingredient in many weed killers. Meanwhile, Monsanto’s popular Roundup product faces ongoing litigation challenges in courts across the country.
