- A U.S. jury on Tuesday found Bayer AG’s glyphosate-based weed killer caused a man’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a bellwether trial that may help determine the course of hundreds of similar cases.
The case was only the second of some 11,200 Roundup lawsuits to go to trial in the United States. Another California man was awarded $289 million in August after a state court jury found Roundup caused his cancer, sending Bayer shares plunging at the time. That award was later reduced to $78 million and is on appeal.
After five days of deliberations over scientific evidence presented during the trial, the jury on Tuesday found Roundup, one of the world’s most widely-used weed killers, to be a “substantial factor” in causing Hardeman’s cancer.
The fact that this dangerous chemical is still available is also a crime. In the U.S. it should be banned.
Bayer is a strange spelling for monsanto
Good.
Why would this product be carcinogenic in the United States and not in France ? Does its composition differ according to the country of use ?
I wonder how the jury came to the conclusion that glyphosate causes cancer when literally all regulatory agencies in the world (including the US) say it does not.
it’s not just from spraying weeds in your sidewalk. politicians gave the green lights to spray it on crops (cereal, oats everything). It is an endocrine disrupter that messes up a lot of stuff.
Good. As a former employee, good.
