Summary

Provision 453 of the current House Appropriations bill for FY 2026 will create, in effect, a kind of liability shield for pesticide companies, protecting them from lawsuits. This means that if you are made sick by their products you will have no real legal recourse, even though scientific evidence points to the harm caused by their products.

Today, molecular toxicologist Dr. Alexandra Muñoz helps us examine this particular provision that is in front of U.S. lawmakers right now. We invite you to learn more about what’s at stake, the ramifications of this bill's passage, and to act swiftly to communicate to U.S. representatives in the House and Senate that we do NOT want this bill passed with this provision.

0:36.6	And so I think that there is going to be
0:39.6	more harm to people if this goes through because they're already selling things that they know
0:45.7	are dangerous without the proper warnings. What are they going to sell when they know they can't be
0:51.4	sued? From the West. when they know they can't be sued.
