Overview of the Monsanto Roundup lawsuit
The Monsanto Roundup Lawsuit claims that exposure to Roundup Weed Killer causes Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and other health problems, and manufacturers of the chemical failed to warn consumers of this potential risk.
Roundup is a popular herbicide that is used by farmers, gardeners, and homeowners to control weeds.
The active ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, which has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
There is evidence to suggest that exposure to Roundup may increase the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.
Monsanto, now a subsidiary of Bayer, has faced numerous lawsuits linking Roundup to cancer and about the the safety of its Roundup products:
- In August 2018, a jury in San Francisco awarded $289 million to a groundskeeper who claimed that his non-Hodgkin lymphoma was caused by exposure to Roundup. This verdict was later reduced to $78.5 million, and Monsanto appealed the decision.
- In March 2019, another jury in California awarded $80 million to a man who claimed that his non-Hodgkin lymphoma was caused by exposure to Roundup. Monsanto has appealed this decision as well.
It is important to note that non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not the only potential injury that has been linked to Roundup.
Other potential injuries that have been reported in individuals who have been exposed to Roundup include:
- Cancer of the thyroid, pancreas, prostate, and liver
- Skin irritation and rashes
- Eye irritation and blurred vision
- Respiratory problems
If you or a loved one has suffered from any of these injuries or other adverse effects after being exposed to Roundup weed killer, it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney to understand your legal options.

Supreme Court Declined Appeal from BayernAG to Block Roundup Cancer Lawsuits
In June 2022, the US Supreme Court refused to block Roundup lawsuits and upheld a $25 million verdict for a case filed by a California resident.
Bayer responded by saying it “respectfully disagrees” with the Supreme Court decision and that the company is “fully prepared to manage the litigation risk associated with potential future claims in the U.S.”
Roundup Cancer Lawsuits: Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Glyphosate Based Roundup
Scientific suggests a potential link between the use of Roundup, a widely utilized herbicide produced by Bayer, and the onset of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization, designated glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, as a “probable human carcinogen.”
The Environmental Protection Agency was recently ordered to reassess Glyphosate’s impact on human health and the environment.
The Environmental Protection Agency was ordered by a Federal Appeals Court.
Bayer will discontinue the sale of Glyphosate based Roundup products in 2023, as a way to deter future Roundup liabilities.
Research on Roundup Cancer Risk
Below are research studies that have linked Roundup exposure to an increased risk for developing Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma:
Monsanto (Bayer) Roundup Lawsuit Settlement
In January 2020, Bayer announced that it had reached a $10 billion settlement to resolve the majority of Roundup lawsuits that had been filed in the United States.
The settlement includes $9.6 billion to resolve current claims and $1.25 billion to support a separate settlement for potential future Roundup lawsuits.
The amount of compensation that may be available will depend on the severity of the individual’s injuries, as well as other factors such as the amount of Roundup that was used.
The ongoing Roundup litigation is seeking compensation from the $1.25 billion included in the January 2020 global Roundup settlement.

What is the Average Amount of Roundup Settlement Money?
Roundup settlements depend on the strength of a person’s Roundup case and the evidence available to support the claim.
Our Roundup Lawyers estimate that the average Roundup settlement check will fall anywhere between $5,000 and $500,000.
Every case is different, and with the massive amount of claims, Roundup settlements have varied for many plaintiffs.
These settlement estimates are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation in the Roundup Cancer Lawsuit.

Gathering Evidence for Roundup Cancer Lawsuits
Evidence is important in personal injury lawsuits, and especially important in Roundup Lawsuits.
Some of the key pieces of evidence in Roundup lawsuits may include:
1. Medical evidence linking your use of Roundup to the development of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or another related health condition.
This includes items such as medical treatment records, test results, and expert testimony from medical professionals.
2. Evidence demonstrating your exposure to Roundup
This can include documentation of the purchase and use of the herbicide, as well as the specific amounts and frequency of exposure.
3. Evidence that you were not aware of the potential risks associated with using Roundup at the time of your exposure.
This would be evidence displaying that you were not provided with adequate warning labels or instructions for safe use.
It is important to work with an experienced attorney who can help you gather and present the necessary evidence to support your Roundup lawsuit.
