Jury says Bayer must pay $81 million to man who alleged Roundup caused his cancer

The jury in San Francisco federal court said the company was liable for plaintiff Edwin Hardeman's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It awarded $5.9 million in compensatory and $75 million in punitive damages to Hardeman after finding that Roundup was defectively designed, that Monsanto failed to warn of the herbicide's cancer risk and that the company acted negligently.The company denies the allegations, saying decades of studies by independent scientists have shown glyphosate and Roundup to be safe for human use.

The trial is only the second of more than 11,200 Roundup lawsuits set to go to trial in the United States. Previous litigation setbacks and a prior jury verdict against the company have sent Bayer shares plunging. The verdict comes roughly a week after the same jury on March 19 found Roundup to have been a"substantial factor" in causing Hardeman's cancer, allowing the trial to proceed into a second phase to determine liability and damages. Bayer shares fell more than 12 percent after last week's jury finding.

'The EPA, the European Chemicals Agency and other regulators have found that glyphosate is not likely carcinogenic to humans. The World Health Organization’s cancer arm, however, reached a different conclusion in 2015, classifying glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” There are so many cancer causing chemicals out there how would they know what chemical or even genetics that caused his cancer.
