SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 11 — German pharmaceutical and chemical giant Bayer on Monday lost another appeal against a verdict that found its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, the latest setback in its bid to end thousands of lawsuits over the product.
Bayer has been plagued by problems since it bought Monsanto, which owns Roundup, in 2018 for US$63 billion and inherited its legal woes. In the latest ruling, the appeals court said Monsanto displayed an “intransigent unwillingness to inform the public about the carcinogenic dangers of a product it made abundantly available at hardware stores and garden shops across the country.”
Plaintiff’s attorney Brent Wisner hailed the ruling, saying Monsanto “has now lost every appeal, and for good reason,” according to a statement released by his firm.
