More Than 8,000 Roundup Lawsuits Await Bayer's Monsanto

Introduction

Following a unanimous verdict of $289 million for a cancer victim's lawsuits alleging Roundup's cancer link, mount to nearly 8,000 against Bayer in both state and federal courts. While the California jury's verdict opened many possibilities for similar cases, Bayer continues to deny glyphosate's involvement in causing cancer and plans to vigorously defend this case and all upcoming cases. When Bayer bought Monsanto in June 2018, it was facing nearly 5,200 Roundup product liability lawsuits.

Glyphosate present in Roundup weedkiller and Ranger Prov herbicides has been reported to cause Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in humans coming in close contact with the herbicide.
