Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup that has been the subject of numerous product-liability lawsuits across the country alleging cancer links to the herbicide’s use.
On Wednesday, attorneys general from Iowa and Nebraska led the filing of the petition, joined by those from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and South Carolina.
