Pesticide giants like Bayer (Monsanto’s parent company) and Syngenta allegedly want immunity from lawsuits, even when their toxic products are linked to cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and other life-threatening conditions. Bayer is already facing around 67,000 lawsuits over its glyphosate-based RoundUp, while Syngenta has more than 6,000 similar cases.
