Indiana Man Claims Years of Roundup Caused NHL
Indiana Man Claims Years of Roundup Caused NHL
Introduction
A product liability lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri by a man from Indiana against Monsanto over the controversial weed killer Roundup. The man claims years of Roundup use resulted in his diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). Allegations faced by Monsanto include failure to warn that exposure to Roundup may result in the diagnosis of NHL. The claim states despite having the knowledge about the potentially carcinogenic side effects of Roundup the company withheld the information.
The JPML established MDL No. 2741 (in re: Roundup Products liability litigation) in 2016 to be presided by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in the Northern District of California to ease the pretrial discovery proceedings.
