"It is irresponsible to require labels on products that are inaccurate when EPA knows the product does not pose a cancer risk," the EPA said in a statement. German pharmaceuticals giant Bayer faces thousands of lawsuits claiming Roundup, which is owned by its Monsanto subsidiary, causes cancer. Watch Bayer trade live.
