As Bayer and other companies work to limit their financial exposure to pesticide injury lawsuits, they are shifting more of their focus to statehouses, where they can shape the legislative landscape and reduce the legal risks associated with their products. Pesticide companies are pushing for laws that would limit damages in pesticide-related injury cases. Bayer has backed the Agricultural Labeling Uniformity Act, a federal bill that seeks to standardize pesticide labeling and prevent states from enacting stricter requirements.
