A Delaware judge declared a mistrial in the latest lawsuit alleging that exposure to the popular weedkiller Roundup causes cancer.

Superior Court Judge Vivian Medinilla made the order after jurors remained deadlocked.

The lawsuit was filed by the family of Anthony Cloud, a South Carolina man who worked for more than a decade as a landscaper. Cloud was diagnosed in 2018 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He died in October 2021, about six weeks after his lawsuit was initially filed. His family was seeking $142 million in punitive damages in a trial that began in Wilmington in early February.

German chemical company Bayer AG has been beset with tens of thousands of lawsuits since acquiring Roundup’s manufacturer, St. Louis-based agribusiness giant Monsanto, in 2018.

FAA raises new anti-ice system concerns on Boeing 737 Max, 787 jets

The Federal Aviation Administration says it will mandate a fix for a new 737 Max design problem discovered by Boeing that, although it’s a remote possibility, could theoretically disable the jet’s engine anti-ice system.

Airlines have reported a separate issue with a similar system on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner that has caused what the FAA calls “relatively minor” damage to the engine inlets on some two dozen of these widebody jets in service.

Though the FAA considers neither problem to be an immediate risk to flight safety, in February it issued separate notices of two proposed airworthiness directives to mandate the fix for the engine anti-ice system on the Max and to lay out inspection and repair procedures for that system on the 787, pending a redesign that provides a permanent fix.

Boeing previously issued guidelines that recommended airlines do what the FAA will require within three years in the case of the Max and within 30 months for the 787.
