Roundup weedkiller was designed with a single purpose: killing weeds. This herbicide product was effective, but contained a harmful compound called glyphosate that has since been linked to certain forms of cancer. Long-term exposure to glyphosate can subject farmworkers, landscapers, groundskeepers, and others to heightened risk of several dangerous side effects including pain, swelling, fever, and several forms of blood cancers.

• Biggest Award: $289.2 million including $250 million in punitive damages for failing to warn consumers of dangers
• Number of Cases: More than 43,000 claimants 
• Weedkiller Introduction Date: 1974
• Intended Use: To kill unwanted plants that can ruin agricultural crops and home gardens
• Side-Effects: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – A blood cancer that originates in the lymphatic system

Roundup weedkiller contains the chemical compound glyphosate. Made by Monsanto (Bayer), Roundup has been on the market for over 35 years. In recent years, a link has been found between glyphosate and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Those who were exposed to Roundup and have developed cancer are entitled to justice and compensation.

Agricultural workers and gardeners who have developed Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup to spray crops, plants and flowers, are entitled to fight back against this carcinogenic (cancer causing) product.

Monsanto, the makers of Roundup, introduced the weedkiller to the market in 1974. In 1999, the company hired scientific experts to conduct an internal, secret safety review of the product. The scientists raised concerns and called for more testing, but executives refused. People who developed cancer after Roundup exposure are entitled to fight for justice against a company that hid the truth.

A 2015 report by the WHO (World Health Organization) concluded that glyphosate is a ‘probable human carcinogen’, meaning there is a strong link between exposure to glyphosate and humans developing cancer. Those who have been affected are entitled to seek justice and compensation.

To see if you or a loved one qualify to fight against the injustice of cancer due to Roundup exposure, start by taking a free evaluation to check your eligibility for compensation.

The active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller is glyphosate, an herbicide and crop desiccant discovered in 1970. Glyphosate-based products have been the world’s most popular types of weed killer for decades, and Monsanto made a fortune selling Roundup since its introduction in 1974. However, a report by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) released in 2015 classified glyphosate as a probable cause of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

Monsanto and, afterwards, Bayer, have disputed claims that Roundup causes cancer. The companies point to other studies, including their own, that show different results to the IARC Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma conclusions. After listening to experts on the witness stand, several independent juries and judges have dismissed the claims from Roundup’s makers. Multi-million-dollar claims have been awarded in some individual roundup cases.

Most of the evidence that Roundup causes cancer in humans comes from the IARC/World Health Organization study. Other studies back up the evidence provided by the IARC. For instance, CNN reported last year on a new study that cited a 41% increased risk of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma following glyphosate exposure. Bayer and Monsanto’s assertions that Roundup does not cause cancer have been backed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). However, the EPA has been widely criticized for this stance, with some pointing to a “troubling” linkage between the EPA’s ruling and the Trump administration's prior pursuit of looser regulation across all facets of industry.

Roundup cancer studies results may vary. That being said, a high number of reputable public health and safety organizations, including the WHO, are concerned about the link between Roundup and cancer. When faced with the evidence in courts across the United States, the juries and judges have largely come down on the side of claimants. In addition,Roundup cancer trials have uncovered evidence that Monsanto executives knew that there was a possibility that its Roundup was harmful – and tried to hide that evidence from millions of loyal Roundup customers.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), the type of cancer linked to Roundup, can present differently from person to person. If you experience these symptoms regardless if you have been exposed to a glyphosate weedkiller in the past or not, it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider right away. If you have been exposed to Roundup weed killer, be sure to mention this to your healthcare professional. 

Symptoms that may indicate the presence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma include: 

• Persistent swollen glands or lymph nodes
• Fluid acclamation and swelling, particularly in the abdomen, face, arms, and neck 
• Sudden and dramatic weight loss
• Abdominal pain 
• Bone pain
• Severe and chronic fatigue
• Balance problems
• Chest pain, persistent cough, shortness of breath
• Suppressed appetite
• Blood in the feces, urine or vomit
• Trouble urinating
• Persistent fever (lasting over two weeks)
• Persistent chills and sweating, especially night sweats (lasting over two weeks)
• Headaches, seizures, or blurred or lost vision
• Chronic itching
• Numbness around the face
• Mood swings and mental health changes

This is by no means an exhaustive list of symptoms that may be associated with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. If you’ve been exposed to Roundup weed killer, it’s a good idea to talk with your doctor about any symptoms that you’ve experienced. When cancer is caught earlier, it’s easier to treat. 

It may seem like there is only one glyphosate side effect worth talking about – cancer. However, exposure to Roundup can cause other problems too. It’s also worth remembering that humans are not alone in the development of health issues after exposure to glyphosate products.

Roundup and glyphosate (the active ingredient in the weed killer) are often spoken of interchangeably in the media. Glyphosate is not the only ingredient in the product that is potentially dangerous, however. As pointed out by the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), there are other toxic components in Roundup that can cause side effects in humans. 

NPIC lists the following potential Roundup side effects in addition to the development of cancer:

• Eye and skin irritation 
• Nose and throat irritation (after ingesting spray)
• Increased saliva
• Burns in nose and throat
• Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea 
• Death (after intentional ingestion)

Glyphosate was discovered in 1970 by a chemist working for Monsanto, John E. Franz. Its weed-killing properties became apparent, and Monsanto released the chemical under the commercial name Roundup in 1974. Monsanto’s patent for glyphosate expired in 2000, and today, many other glyphosate-based herbicide products exist. Some estimates claim that glyphosate’s usage has increased 100-fold globally since the late 1970s. 

In addition to glyphosate, some Roundup products may contain POEA polyethoxylated tallow amine, which can be dangerous when found in undiluted form. Campaigners have also called for companies like Bayer to provide more information on unlisted ingredients in herbicidal products.

Concerns about Roundup always come back to the link between the product and cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma originates in the lymphatic system – a system of glands and vessels that permeate your body. Survival rates for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma vary depending on the type of cancer and the stage of detection, but some estimates put it at 72%.

First, there is still a debate in the scientific community on whether Roundup causes cancer. The EPA has yet to ban Roundup products. Both of these factors are fluid, and it’s possible that Roundup will be recalled in the future. Several countries, including Bayer’s home country of Germany, have plans in place to ban or phase out Roundup and other glyphosate-based products.

Although Roundup users are instructed to use protective equipment when applying the herbicide product, the company has allegedly failed to adequately warn users about the risks associated with repeated exposure. Protective equipment cannot completely prevent Roundup exposure.. Also, the company has started a long standing misinformation campaign, designed to hide the dangers of the product’s ingredients.

The company has attempted to discredit any academic research and studies that highlight the links between its product and heightened risk of cancer and other harmful side-effects that impact user’s quality of life. Glyphosate, a main ingredient in Roundup, has been classified as a “probably carcinogenic” by the World Health Organization (WHO), but the EPA and European regulators continue to approve its use.

How Many People Are Affected By This Dangerous Weedkiller?

The exact number of people who have used Roundup regularly over the last 45 years is not precisely known, however, it could number in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Already, there are thousands of individuals fighting against Bayer for compensation, with an estimated 43,000 cases currently pending against the company. 

Given the range of potential users who were exposed to the product, the number of impacted people will likely continue to grow. At present, anyone who has developed Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma since 1985 following prolonged Roundup use is eligible to pursue justice from Bayer for their injuries, pain, and suffering.

How Have Affected Individuals Fought Back?

Many impacted individuals have taken legal action against Bayer, (now the owner of Monsanto), which was responsible for designing, manufacturing, and distributing Roundup over the last 45 years. Despite a mountain of evidence documenting the harmful effects of glyphosate, the company has gone on the offensive, citing its own evidence from scientific studies it has financed, as well as approvals received from major regulators across the globe. 

Bayer’s attempts to bury the issue have not been enough to prevent the tide from turning against the company for its wrongdoing. High profile legal cases and victories for victims have thrust the company back into the spotlight for its harmful actions. Now, individuals injured by Roundup can also explore their options for compensation by filling out a short evaluation to determine eligibility.

What Has Been The Biggest Victory Against Roundup?

So far, the single biggest verdict against the Roundup has been recorded in San Francisco, California.  A former school groundskeeper named Dewayne Johnson was awarded $289.2 million by a jury after exposure to Roundup was considered responsible for causing his terminal Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer. 

This victory encouraged thousands of former Roundup users, spouses and family members of deceased individuals to come forward. With tens of thousands of cases pending against the company for its wrongdoing and failure to adequately warn consumers about the dangers of its products, victims harmed by this long standing corporate coverup are banding together to pursue justice against Bayer.

Monsanto and subsequently Bayer have been involved in Roundup litigation cases and Roundup settlements since 2015. The first Roundup lawsuits emerged soon after the IARC published its findings linking glyphosate to Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Since then, 1000s of lawsuits have been filed against Roundup’s manufacturers. There have been notable big case wins for individual lawsuits, such as the huge payments that were awarded to Dewayne Johnson in 2018 and Richard Gonzales in 2019. These men were awarded $289 and $80 million respectively, although its important to note that judges reduced payouts after appeals from Monsanto (Johnson finally received $78 million, Gonzales $25 million).

It’s not clear when the Roundup litigation will end. Bayer has unsuccessfully tried to end the lawsuits. Even after the company’s groundbreaking $10.9 billion settlement, litigation against Bayer continues.. 

It’s likely that many more people will come forward with genuine claims for compensation after developing cancer linked to Roundup exposure. Bayer has threatened to put the Monsanto arm of its company into bankruptcy in an effort to contain the multi-billion-dollar litigation it faces. That hasn’t materialized.

The Roundup lawsuit is one of the biggest cases of its kind in US legal history in terms of the settlements that we have seen so far. Some of the country’s best lawyers have been standing up to Monsanto and Bayer in court – and winning deserved compensation for their clients. 

If you or a loved one have used Roundup products and subsequently contracted Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, you should speak with an experienced lawyer right away. Speaking with a Roundup cancer lawsuit law firm can help you become aware of your options for pursuing compensation and joining the Roundup lawsuits.

Statute Of Limitations

The statute of limitations on cases involving health problems varies by state, and can range from one to six years. The statute of limitations is different when pursuing claims for wrongful death, as some claimants might be doing in the Roundup cancer lawsuits. The best way to find out about the statute of limitations for Roundup cases in your state is to speak with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Once your case has been filed in court against Roundup’s manufacturers, the statute of limitations will no longer apply.

Due to the 1000s of claimants, various lawsuits and billions of dollars at stake, there has been a lot of confusion and misinformation around the Roundup lawsuits. The fact that Bayer agreed to the record-breaking $10.9 billion settlement in the summer of 2020 does not mean that Roundup-related lawsuits are finished. There is still the possibility of further settlements and trials.Bayer has settled some of the cases, but questions remain unanswered, and many people who developed cancer after using Roundup have not yet received compensation.
