"EPA Sued Over Reapproval Of Key Roundup Chemical"

The agency re-approved the chemical, known as glyphosate, in January, claiming that it doesn’t pose a danger to humans. Thousands of lawsuits, however, have attributed cancer to Roundup.

One lawsuit against the EPA was filed Friday on behalf of the Center for Food Safety (CFS), Beyond Pesticides, the Rural Coalition, Organización en California de Lideres Campesinas, and the Farmworker Association of Florida. ...

Another suit was filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Pesticide Action Network North America. "
