California Jury Awards $2.055 Billion In Third Roundup Trial

Introduction

A California couple was awarded $2.055 billion total for damages allegedly caused due to the exposure to glyphosate from Roundup.

The verdict was given by a jury of five women and seven men in California, in favor of the couple who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The jury granted $55 million in non-economic and economic damages along with $1 billion in punitive damages for each of the plaintiffs — adding up to $2.055 billion in total. In a recent trial, California federal jury awarded $80 million against Monsanto in favor of another plaintiff. Also in August 2018, a state jury in San Francisco awarded a former school groundskeeper $289 million, which was later reduced to $78.5 million after Monsanto's appeal.

This was the third trial out of 13,400 pending lawsuits. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria overlooks the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of California.
