Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll seeks injunction for farmers against Bayer CropScience over rice testing

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firms of Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, PLLC and Emerson Poynter LLP announced today that they filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against Bayer CropScience in the Binkley v. Bayer CropScience class action case pending in federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas. The plaintiffs seek to prohibit Bayer from providing misleading communications on its website regarding a testing method that Bayer developed to detect the presence of its genetically modified Liberty Link rice. Plaintiffs are asking the court to order Bayer to provide corrective information to the public and to disclose that Bayer's testing method and certification procedure differ from rice standards in other countries - particularly important export markets in the European Union.
