The case, John D. Carson v. Monsanto Co., which thousands have claims the chemicals have caused them to contract non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers, is one of two currently pending at the federal appeals level on preemption grounds. The other being Schaffner v Monsanto, which is scheduled for oral arguments later in the year.
