    Missouri House backs legal shield for weedkiller maker facing thousands of cancer-related lawsuits

    The manufacturer of a popular weedkiller won support Wednesday from the Missouri House for a proposal that could shield it from costly lawsuits alleging it failed to warn customers its product could cause cancer. The House vote marked an important but incremental victory for chemical giant Bayer, which acquired an avalanche of legal claims involving the weedkiller Roundup when it bought the product's original St. Louis-area-based producer, Monsanto. The legislation now heads to the Missouri Senate with several weeks remaining in the annual legislative session.
