LOS ANGELES - Home Depot U.S.A. Inc. on Dec. 13 filed a brief in California federal court arguing that it should dismiss a lawsuit brought against the company related to the sale of the herbicide Roundup, which contains the active ingredient glyphosate, because the case is preempted by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (James Weeks v. Home Depot U.S.A. Inc., No. 19-6780, C.D. Calif.).
