Around $65 million in compensatory damages was awarded for non-Hodgkin lymphoma that the plaintiff argued he developed after using the weed killer. This is one of the largest verdicts in a Roundup case\u2014Bayer plans to appeal. If you developed cancer because you were exposed to Roundup, you should call the seasoned product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved around the nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Your Claim <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plaintiff had used the herbicide in his own yard. Doctors diagnosed him with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020. His case was brought with allegations that the active ingredient in the weedkiller was glyphosate, which caused his cancer. He argued that Monsanto failed to warn him that the product was dangerous. His case is one of more than 60,000 similar cases. Bayer has paid around $10 billion to settle claims that the herbicide causes cancer and has set aside $5.9 billion to address legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Bayer had acquired Roundup when it took over the agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018. The German pharmaceutical and biotechnology group acquired Roundup as part of its $63 billion takeover of U.S. agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018. In response to this latest verdict, the company said it disagreed with the verdict, and claimed it was in conflict with an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence to the contrary, as well as the consensus of numerous regulatory bodies around the globe. It plans to appeal. Bayer has also said that it may stop selling Roundup if lawmakers don\u2019t strengthen legal protections against product liability litigation.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/monsanto-hit-with-2b-verdict-after-jury-finds-roundup-weed-killer-caused-ga-mans-cancer\/#more-3483\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, after a three-week trial, jurors in a state court awarded $2 billion in punitive damages to a plaintiff who had sued Bayer-owned Monsanto and alleged that the company\u2019s Roundup herbicide had caused his cancer.
