Jury awards $80 million to man who claimed Bayer's Roundup weed killer caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK - A U.S. jury on Wednesday awarded $80 million to a man who claimed his use of Bayer AG’s glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup caused his cancer, in the latest legal setback for the company facing thousands of similar lawsuits.

“This verdict does not change the weight of over four decades of extensive science and the conclusions of regulators worldwide that support the safety of our glyphosate-based herbicides and that they are not carcinogenic,” Bayer said. Lawyers for Hardeman were seen by a Reuters reporter cheering in the elevator outside the courtroom after the verdict was announced.

The company said its appeal would focus on legal rulings by Chhabria, who allowed some of Hardeman’s scientific experts to testify despite calling plaintiffs’ expert opinions “shaky” in a 2018 ruling. In the first U.S. Roundup trial, another California man was awarded $289 million in August after a state court jury found Roundup caused his cancer. That award was later reduced to $78 million and is on appeal.

This too will be appealed

If I poisoned someone and they died I would go to prison. They poison someone and they get cancer and they are fined

Why is Klaus kinski there?

But does anyone have to stop selling Roundup to other humans and/or animals who think poisoning vegetation and the earth is a good plan for the future?
