🚨URGENT: Congress is about to
wipe out your right to sue pesticide companies, quietly, tucked in a new spending bill.
Section 453 blocks updated health warnings and gives chemical manufacturers immunity, even when people are harmed.
Cancer. Parkinson’s. Infertility.
57,000+ products. Zero accountability.
This must be pulled NOW before it reaches the floor.
Section 453 freezes pesticide labels in place, even when new science shows harm.
Outdated labels mean no warning. No informed consent.Why is 453 being pushed?
Bayer, the German manufacturer of glyphosate (active ingredient in Roundup), has experienced a stock price crash and is on the hook for $16 billion in settlements from glyphosate cancer litigation. They are repeatedly losing court cases because of the overwhelming evidence that glyphosate is connected to Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Similarly, Paraquat, manufactured by ChemChina, is tightly connected to Parkinson’s Disease and litigation is underway. It is a pesticide that is banned for use in China, yet they sell it to us and now want legal immunity when we get Parkinson’s from their product.
Here’s the trick: Section 453 blocks
EPA funding needed to approve label updates.Lawsuits get dismissed.
Victims get nothing.
1 Once this bill hits the floor, it cannot be changed.
No amendments.
No fixes.
No second chances.
This decision is being made behind closed doors right now.
Public pressure right now is the only way to stop it.
TAKE ACTION: Contact your representatives to REMOVE Section 453 before the FY26 Interior bill reaches the floor next week. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST FAR AND WIDE SO WE CAN STOP THIS!
