Jan. 27, St. Louis Roundup Trial Postponed

Introduction

A Roundup trial that was scheduled to begin on January 27 in St. Louis County Circuit has been postponed.

The postponed lawsuit involving a plaintiff who alleged the controversial weedkiller for his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was originally scheduled to begin in August 2019. The case was closely monitored, as the former chairman and CEO of Monsanto, Hugh Grant, was expected to provide testimony.

The lawsuit was expected to gauge how other St. Louis juries would respond to evidence and testimony that is likely to be repeated throughout more than 40,000 other similar claims.

However, Bayer could not avoid another similar trial that is still expected to begin on January 21 in St. Louis City Circuit Court.

Roundup lawsuits are consolidated under federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of California, presided by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria.
