Federal Judge Enjoins Prop 65 Glyphosate Warning

February 27, 2018, Covington Alert

Yesterday (February 26, 2018), six days after hearing the motion, Judge William B. Shubb of the U.S. District Court granted, in part, a preliminary injunction, enjoining California’s Proposition 65 warning requirement for glyphosate. The court concluded that the Plaintiffs had demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits that the State’s glyphosate warning requirement violates the First Amendment by compelling Plaintiffs to make false and misleading statements about their products.
