A jury dealt Bayer AG a third court defeat, awarding $2.055 billion to a California couple who blamed the German company’s Roundup weedkiller for causing their cancer.
The verdict by the Northern California jury comes as Bayer faces a revolt from shareholders over last year’s acquisition of Monsanto Co., which exposed Bayer to some 13,400 claims tying Roundup to cancer.
IllnessBreast but the EPA just said it doesn't cause cancer...uhh okay
Needs to be limit for lawyer portion. 1/3 plus expenses is crazy. $200million+
You'd think that all the hard evidence showing zero connection would ....oh it's a California jury... never mind.

Tazminat ödenecek aile kesin siyonisttir. İsrail devletini böyle güçlü firmaları ve ülkeleri tazminata mahkum bırakarak kurdular. Tabii bunu ABD’nin gücünden faydalanarak yaptılar. Biz niye kesemiyoruz kimseye ceza. Çünkü yeteri kadar gücümüz yok.
Crazy
But in California 2 billion will only buy you a Biggie Meal at Wendys.
Hell yes.
Good. Take that shit off the market already.
DavyJonesPizza So if it causes cancer, why aren’t they rounding up the roundup? I still have some, should I use it or not?
I doubt there is a way to prove round up caused their cancer, it’s based on probability
2 Billion is way too much - it creates fake victimhood and steals from other people who have claims against round-up.
dahboo7 It will be appealed and Bayer will litigate till these people are dead. Case over. These cases against big corporate are doomed as long as the corporate machine can appeal. Fairness is not a corporate battle cry.
Do not settle this fight all the way.
Why not a trillion? CA juries with tort cases in front of them are out of control. Any wonder companies are fleeing CA?
honestly they deserve more
Jury awarded $2 billion... New math. Was the jury informed of the number of zeros?
This is insane!
Now let's tax the hell out of them
I told all the media Roundup is dangerous with citation years ago and once again, proven RIGHT.🤦♂️ Boycott Round-up & anything containing glyphosate. ✅
Did they straight up drink it?
Read the pediatric and environmental toxins community's research on Monsanto and roundup. It's being stifled and no longer appears on the EPA research site. Fetuses and young children suffer brain development damage due to Monsanto.
Stuff should be pulled from every shelf
Chemicals cause cancer. Kill Nature, kill ourselves...
AgDayTV I am spraying round up right now.
Make Bristol the home of ESPN and Meyer a tasty lemon in pie.... A corporation of their ilk needs to go down about 6 feet under....just like all the harmed people are going from the BIG Roundup.... They are NOT too big to fail....miserably....
Is that all
Bad science and an even worse decision for society.
Was Rudy Baylor on this?
The problem with this is, the research conducted by numerous independent sources from around the world over many decades does not point to this courts decision being correct and this recent spate of court cases over glyphosate have been remarkably based on nothing scientific.
False!!!
Guess I had better stop using Roundup.
So these two got all of that? What happens to every other slob out there that also was effected? Peanuts?
Good. Why can'twe legislate that ALL chemicals coming to market must first be proven safe by their developers?
2 billion? What drugs this judges are on
dahboo7 The system is so corrupt, they'll never allow big pharma to lose that much money
it's truly heartbreaking that these corporations know their products contain carcinogens and yet they still keep operating on like there's nothing wrong. My grandfather died from mesothelioma asbestos exposure from working in the same factory his entire life. And they knew.
Good!
California is a joke
