Bayer to oppose transfer of Roundup settlement case to California federal court

Bayer said it will challenge a conditional order transferring its Missouri Roundup class settlement case to a federal court in California, arguing the move should not affect the determination of the proper venue. The company maintained that the case should instead be remanded to a Missouri state court.

The dispute centers on where the class settlement should be heard, with Bayer rejecting the transfer as procedurally significant. The case remains part of long-running litigation linked to Roundup herbicide claims.
