Lawsuit Claims Roundup Affects Gut Bacteria in Humans & Pets

Introduction

According to a lawsuit filed on February 13, in the federal court in Kansas City, Missouri, Monsanto company gave false assurance to consumers that Roundup weed killer targets an enzyme not found in humans and animals.

The lawsuit names three consumers as plaintiffs who are pursuing to seek monetary damages and class-action status for their claims. Plaintiffs' attorney indicated in an email that, “Monsanto has misled consumers about glyphosate’s risks for decades. Despite the company’s efforts to suppress and skew research on glyphosate, the science is in.” Roundup products distributor Scotts Miracle-Gro is also a defendant in the lawsuit. Similar arguments are filed in two other suits in Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., but they are not class actions.

Judge Vince Chhabria overlooks the Roundup multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the U.S. District Court, of Northern District of  California. California resident’s lawsuit is the first federal trial slated to begin on February 25.
