US jury rules weedkiller a cancer 'factor'

A US jury has found that one of the world's most widely-used weedkillers was a"substantial factor" in causing a man's cancer.

The German company, which acquired Roundup as part of its $66bn takeover of US rival Monsanto, said it was disappointed with the jury's initial decision. Mr Hardeman, 70, treated his property in Sonoma County, California, regularly with the herbicide from 1980 to 2012 and was eventually diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"Instead, it is clear from Monsanto's actions that it does not particularly care whether its product is in fact giving people cancer, focusing instead on manipulating public opinion and undermining anyone who raises genuine and legitimate concerns about the issue."

andrewzbik I know you probably deserve a break this week, but when you're ready any update on council re this? thanks

Legfingers the stuff they spray around the lake ALL the time! 😱

Don’t say that, they’ve already worked out all the world’s ills are due to smoking, car exhausts and eating fat. You’ll be suggesting cleaning chemicals are injurious to human health next.

False news.

If law is where you buy it, then Bayer (once part of the well-known I.G. Farben chemicals conglomerate) can't lose: judges are pliable and there will be lots of money spent on appeals...

Yay carcinogenic food for all in a free market economy. Brexit gets better doesn’t it when we have to accept this

It's a threat or suggestion to solve problems by poisoning food. The food is already poisoned where I live. So, more poison. SAGcoup & SAGClubMed does not like when outsiders read there Glyph TerrorTweets.

But If Makes Rich People More Money - That's More Important Then People Lives!!!! DUH!!! WAKE UP AND REALIZE YOU HAVE A SICK SICK SYSTEM OF GREED OVER PEOPLE!! GOP!

Monsanto: Roundup substantial factor in man’s cancer, jury finds in key verdictFederal jury’s decision in case of man who said he used weedkiller for decades could affect hundreds of other plaintiffs Things like this, should be restricted to trained use only, paraquat is the states, it is outright banned here I believe though, evil stuff. This should also really go for chainsaws etc, as un trained use is lethal. That product should have been banned a long time ago. Studies that Roundup was associated with cancer have been modified by false scientists hired by Monsanto. Up next: juries deciding the gravitational constant.

Woman awarded $29m in damages in Johnson & Johnson cancer caseCalifornia jury declines to award punitive damages to woman who blames baby powder for mesothelioma I sometimes powder my balls with Johnson's BabyPowder after a shower but that's over now... 🤔Now I'm scared because of the claims of cancer although I use the cornstarch formula and not the original baby powder formula, is there a difference? 😳😂 It’s the talc of the town. ALWAYS use the cornstarch variety! Talcum powder is ground up rock...microscopically nearly identical to asbestos (another ROCK!) If you, or your baby...or your vagina, breathe in cornstarch, you're half way to biscuits! ;)
