Roundup Lawsuits: Plaintiffs Advance Dozens For Trial

Introduction

According to a case management study submitted on May 29, plaintiffs attorneys have asked the U.S. District Judge to start preparing dozens of cases for individual trial dates against Roundup in California U.S. District Courts.

Around 15,000 product liability lawsuits have been filed nationwide against Bayer and its subsidiary Monsanto which includes cases brought by farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers and other consumers diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma following the use of Roundup. Additionally, at least 1,300 of the Roundup cases are pending in the federal court system.

Meanwhile, litigation involving Monsanto Roundup has gone global, following the class action lawsuit filed in Quebec, Canada.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria is presiding overall the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741; In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of California. Kenneth Feinberg has been appointed to help mediate a deal in multidistrict litigation involving Monsanto's Roundup.
