In a victory for global agrochemical maker Bayer, Georgia has become the second US state to shield pesticide manufacturers from some lawsuits claiming that they failed to warn customers of potential dangers.
The legislation signed on Friday by Georgia governor Brian Kemp is designed to protect Bayer from lawsuits claiming that it failed to tell customers that its popular weed-killer Roundup could cause cancer.
