Bayer Seeks To Reverse $86M Roundup Verdict

Introduction

Attorney general for Bayer has asked the California appeals court to reverse an $86 million verdict, in which the company was held responsible for a couple's cancer caused by the glyphosate present in its weedkiller Roundup.

The lawsuit involves a couple who sprayed Roundup on their property for more than three decades to destroy weeds. A Californian jury awarded the couple $2 billion after finding glyphosate as the cause of cancer.

According to the Friday night filing with the California First District Court of Appeals in San Francisco, the company claimed that the verdict does not settle with the law nor with sound science.

Bayer has also appealed two other verdicts, and it is yet not clear when courts will issue rulings in those cases.

Six scheduled jury trials have been postponed in recent months, and Kenneth R. Feinberg, who is playing a mediator, has asked the court to postpone all the legal deadlines by one month for settlement talks.
