Monsanto Appeals Against $2B Roundup Verdict

Introduction

Monsanto would be appealing against a recent $2.055 billion verdict based on the findings of a U.S. regulatory agency who stated the herbicide is safe to use.

In a recent trial held on May 13, 2019, a California couple was awarded $2.055 billion total for damages allegedly caused due to the exposure to glyphosate from Roundup. The jury had 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. The recent trial has fueled the possible settlement of more than 13,000 lawsuits brought over Roundup across the country. But legal experts believe Bayer won't settle on the verdicts and will have a tough time convincing courts to toss out verdicts.

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.
