It is also possible for a company to buy some or all of the assets of a company and to assume some of the known liabilities. This probably leaves the problems you mention with the original company but I am not sure.
Monsanto probably had some insurance covering claims that arose out of the years of exposure. There are probably a number of policy years and quite possible a number of different carriers that will be providing coverage for some of these claims.
