Heading: Decisions Since Ackles

Text: Since our decision in Ackles, a majority of courts continue to hold that FIFRA preempts labeling-based failure-to-warn claims. See, e.g., Netland v. Hess & Clark, Inc., 284 F.3d 895 (8th Cir.2002) (rehearing and rehearing en banc denied); Grenier, supra; Arnold v. Dow Chemical Co., 91 Cal.App.4th 698, 110 Cal.Rptr.2d 722 (2001); Etcheverry v. Tri-Ag, 22 Cal.4th 316, 993 P.2d 366, 93 Cal.Rptr.2d 36 (2000); Ackerman v. American Cyanamid Co., 586 N.W.2d 208 (Iowa 1998); Didier v. Drexel Chem. Co., 86 Wash.App. 795, 938 P.2d 364 (1997); Lewis, supra . Since Ackles, two courts have held that failure-to-warn claims are not preempted by FIFRA. Sleath v. West Mont Home Health Services, 304 Mont. 1, 16 P.3d 1042 (2000), cert. denied ___ U.S. ___, 122 S.Ct. 40, 151 L.Ed.2d 13 (2001); Brown v. Chas. H. Lilly Co., 161 Or.App. 402, 985 P.2d 846 (1999), review denied 330 Or. 138, 6 P.3d 1098 (2000).
