Roundup in troubled waters
Roundup in troubled waters
Introduction
Another report released this August confirms that Monsanto was involved in influencing and curbing the release of damaging scientific data regarding the safety and efficacy of Roundup, a weed killer suspected of causing cancer. As per the report, high-level Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) executives were influenced by Monsanto to conceal the records linking Roundup as a suspected causative agent of cancer. Following this release, thousands of federally-filed mass tort litigations against Monsanto and Roundup in MDL 2741 will get a boost and would encourage more individuals to join the MDL.
