NEW YORK — Bayer will try to convince a federal judge to dismantle the federal litigation that consolidates nearly 4,000 lawsuits alleging that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, seeking to build on a recent legal victory at the U. Supreme Court. US District Judge Vincent Chhabria in San Francisco is holding a status conference to determine the path forward for those cases after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last month that plaintiffs cannot sue Bayer by arguing that Roundup’s warning label failed to warn users about cancer risks. Bayer has argued that the decision should lead to the dismissal of the consolidated federal litigation. The company has separately said the ruling is unlikely to affect more than 60,000 similar claims pending in state courts, most of which it is seeking to resolve through a proposed $7.25 billion settlement that a Missouri judge will review in August.
