CLASS
ACTION:
29
Texas peanut farmers argued that during the 2000 growing season
Dow's newly marketed fluorinated diclosulam herbicide called
Strongarm severely damaged their crops. In their efforts to
create a Class Action suit, the farmers lost their case in
two courts.
They then appealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court. On April 27, 2005, the Supreme Court ruled
that
farmers whose crops are damaged by federally approved pesticides
or herbicides may pursue damage claims against the manufacturers
in state court.
