Question presented

This case presents the same question that is presently before the Court in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, No. 24-1068 (docketed April 9, 2025). For all the reasons set forth in the petition in Durnell, this Court should grant the petition in No. 24-1068 and hold this case pending final resolution of that case. The question presented is: Whether FIFRA preempts a state-law failure-towarn claim where EPA has repeatedly concluded that the warning is not required and the warning cannot be added to a product without EPA approval.
