(Reuters) -Bayer said on Monday its Monsanto unit reached agreements in principle with more than 200 plaintiffs to resolve the so-called Sky Valley Education Center product liability cases related to the chemical PCB.

The cost of the additional settlements was covered by the PCB litigation provision taken in the second quarter, it added.
Previous adverse verdicts in the Sky Valley Education Center litigation were not covered by the deal and remain on appeal, Bayer added.
