Roundup Weed Killer Cancer Lawsuit
Roundup is manufactured by Monsanto and is the most popular herbicide in the world. While a large number of farmers and gardeners use the product there is scientific proof that exposure to the weed killer can result in several deadly types of cancer. The first Roundup Weed Killer Cancer Lawsuit led to a $289 million verdict for a worker who initiated legal action against Monsanto. Recently over $2 Billion was awarded to couple in California. This paved the way for the Roundup Class Action Lawsuit. Over 18,000 lawsuits are currently filed.

What is Glyphosate?
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. It is a widely used herbicide that kills both broadleaf plants and grasses. The sodium salt form of glyphosate regulates plant growth. Glyphosate was first registered for use in the U.S. in 1974.
Lawsuits filed against Monsanto allege that exposure to Glyphosate causes cancer, Monsanto knows exposure to glyphosate poses health risks and Monsanto failed to warn the public about the risks. Scientific studies link the chemicals used by Monsanto and an increased risk of cancer. There is an increased risk of cancer and other medical conditions among individuals who were in direct contact with Roundup Weed Killer.
Is Roundup Dangerous?
Juries in all Roundup Weed Killer Caner Lawsuits tried as of today conclude Roundup is dangerous. Even though glyphosate has been connected to a number of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases, regulatory agencies in the United States are hesitant to admit this. Instead, the Environmental Protection Agency continues to report that the public’s exposure to glyphosate does not exceed healthy limits. In 2013, the EPA also doubled the maximum glyphosate levels for food and crops, which made it easier for Monsanto’s product to be sold.
Roundup Class Action Lawsuits include those filed by a group of Nebraska farmers, a farm owner in Hawaii, and the widow of a California farmer. In each case, a person used Roundup for years under the belief that the product was safe, but the individual was later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It is not known how many potential cases are yet to be filed in the United States.
