金吾财讯 | 美国最高法院新近做出了一项重磅裁决，以7比2的投票结果支持跨国医药与农资巨头拜耳(BAYRY)，推翻了此前下级法院判定其“农达”除草剂致癌并赔偿125万美元的判决。最高法院多数派意见明确指出，根据美国《联邦杀虫剂、杀菌剂和灭鼠剂法案》(FIFRA)，联邦法律效力优先于各州的标签警告要求。鉴于美国环保署(EPA)此前已认定农达的核心成分草甘膦不属于致癌物，并批准了该产品的销售标签，拜耳理应免受各州法院关于“未尽告知义务”的诉讼索赔。分析人士指出，自2018年收购孟山都以来，拜耳便深陷“农达”致癌的诉讼泥潭，至今已支付了数十亿美元和解金。此次美国最高法院确立的“联邦优先权”原则，为拜耳构筑了强有力的法律支撑，将极大加快这家工业巨头摆脱积压的数千起诉讼困境、实现财务重组的步伐。
