Ep 1404 House 453 - Immunity for Pesticide Manufacturers?

On August 10, 2018, a California jury awarded Benecia public school landscaper Dewayne Lee Johnson $289 million for the non-Hodgkin lymphoma he claimed was caused by exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller. That award leads us to ask:

Should manufacturers be held accountable for the consequences of their pesticides?

The 1404the edition of the Food Chain Radio Podcast with Michael Olson features Attorney Brent Wisner, whose firm, Wisner Baum LLP, won the $289 million Monsanto Roundup lawsuit on behalf of public school landscaper Dewayne Lee Johnson.

Topics include what Wisner told the jury that convinced them to believe Johnson instead of Monsanto; how the pesticide industry is fighting back with House Appropriation Bill 453 to grant pesticide manufacturers immunity from lawsuits; and whether manufacturers should be held accountable for the consequences of their pesticides.
