Maine sues Monsanto (now Bayer) for allegedly selling PCB-containing products while aware of their harm.

Maine is suing Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, for allegedly knowingly selling products containing harmful chemicals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which contributed to contamination in the state. The lawsuit, filed in Cumberland County Superior Court, claims Monsanto was aware of the danger of PCBs years before they were banned but continued to manufacture and sell products containing them.
