ROUNDUP LAWSUITS

Roundup is the recognizable brand name for a herbicide manufactured by the Monsanto Company, which was acquired by Bayer in 2018. The herbicide has been on the market since the 1970’s and has become one of the most popular brands of weed killers. Roundup is used commercially in the agriculture, forestry, and landscaping industries. It’s also a frequent choice for do-it-yourselfers and can be found in just about any retail store’s home lawn and garden section. 

The active ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, which has been linked to many adverse health conditions including non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. Over many years, thousands of people who either used or had been exposed to Roundup have filed lawsuits against the manufacturer for injuries they suffered. The Roundup lawsuits claim the herbicide’s manufacturer failed to warn of the product's health dangers, including how the weed killer increases the risk of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. In these lawsuits, victims are seeking to recover financial compensation for the cost of medical care, the lost wages they incurred during treatment and recovery, and the pain and suffering they have endured.

In 2016, the court established a multidistrict litigation to handle these cases under one court. Since that time, several juries have rendered verdicts against Monsanto, compelling the company to pay tens of millions of dollars to injured victims.

The glyphosate found in Roundup is alleged to cause non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or NHL. It is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. This condition often requires extensive medical care and treatment. According to a 2019 study, people who had significant exposure to glyphosate were 41% more likely to develop NHL than people who were not. This research shows a likely link between herbicides containing glyphosate and NHL.

Besides non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, exposure to Roundup may also cause the following types of cancer:

• Large B Cell Lymphoma
• Follicular Lymphoma
• Mantle Cell Lymphoma
• Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
• Mycosis Fungoides Lymphoma
• Burkitt Lymphoma
• Other Lymphoma Subtypes
  

People who either use or once used Roundup regularly are at the highest risk for developing glyphosate-related health problems. The highest levels of exposure typically occur commercially by those who work in the agriculture, forestry, and landscaping industries. However, anyone who was regularly exposed to Roundup may be at risk.

Occupations where there is exposure to Roundup include, but are not limited to:

• Farmer
• Farmworker
• Groundskeeper
• Gardener
• Landscaper
• Pesticide or herbicide applicator
• Non-agricultural workers employed in agriculture

Regardless of occupation, people who have been filing Roundup lawsuits generally have the following in common:

• Exposure to a significant amount of Roundup.
• Exposure took place over several years.
• There was a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
