Part of our job is to hold companies accountable, require them to correct their wrongs and force them to make it right.

Bayer reportedly offered $8 billion to settle Roundup® claims. While the total seems crazy, the settlement amount on a per claim basis is less than $500,000 per case. Juries are awarding much more. Recently $2 billion to a California couple. Ken Feinberg is the case mediator. Mr. Feinberg dismissed the Bloomberg’s report of the amount of Bayer’s settlement offer and denied that it offered to pay $8 billion.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Lawsuit Update (Summer 2019)

On June 29  San Franciscan District Judge Vince Chhabria ruled that the $75 million Punitive Damages award was excessive. Punitive damages, which detour willful, malicious, oppressive, fraudulent, or reckless behavior, must not be greater than 9x larger than compensatory damages. Punitive damages were reduced by Judge Chhabria to $20 million, however he rejected Bayer’s request for a new trial.

The Judge still had scathing words for the agricultural giant, writing in a statement that trial evidence had proven Bayer’s marketing of Roundup “was indeed reprehensible.” To him, the agricultural control company seemed to almost be “focused on attacking or undermining the people who raised concerns, to the exclusion of being an objective arbiter of Roundup’s safety.”

Even after the barrage of allegations and legal precedent, Bayer assures the public that their popular weed killer is safe for use. Next time you walk into your local hardware store Roundup will be prominently displayed on the shelf for sale. Help us change this, inform the public about the danger and if you are already a victim then obtain the money your family deserves.
