What it does
This bill lets states take poison makers to court for bad warnings. The court case can happen even if the government approved the poison's label. Makers must update labels when they learn new safety facts. The bill says government approval cannot fully shield makers from state lawsuits.
Who it affects
People hurt by poisons can now sue in state courts for money. Poison makers must watch for new safety facts and update labels faster.
One thing to notice
The bill does not ban poisons or change government approval. It only stops makers from using government approval as a full shield.
