President Trump's environmental regulators plan to advance a proposal that may block states from warning consumers about potentially harmful herbicides and other agricultural products. This could include a chemical linked to cancer. This initiative is backed by Republican attorneys general and would undermine state authority by declaring any labels citing unrecognized scientific findings as 'misbranding.' Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., critical of pesticide impacts on health, may oppose this as he has litigation history against agrochemical companies. Lee Zeldin, associated with agribusiness, now leads the EPA, raising concerns about potential biases in regulatory actions.
