Roundup Lawsuit: Former CEO To Testify At St. Louis Trial
Roundup Lawsuit: Former CEO To Testify At St. Louis Trial
Introduction
The former CEO of Monsanto has been subpoenaed to testify at a St. Louis Roundup trial.
This will be the first time where the executive is required to testify over the alleged risks associated with a glyphosate-based herbicide. Bayer, along with attorney Ken Feinberg is finding ways, through a mediation process, to resolve more than 43,000 lawsuits. Feinberg was a part of some of the largest mass-tort settlements, including the BP oil spill, Volkswagen emissions scandal, General Motors ignition switch recall, and September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.
If the company does not reach settlements in the next few weeks, they will not only face juries in Missouri state court next month but also have to be ready for a trial that is expected to begin in February 2020, involving a claim brought by a plaintiff who alleged that exposure to Roundup caused her Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
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.
