Glyphosate, an active ingredient found in Roundup, is classified as a possible carcinogen, and if a person is exposed to it for a longer period, they may be at risk of developing certain types of cancer, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
If a person has been inhaling glyphosate for a prolonged period, he/she may suffer from asthma or irritation in the nose. One may also experience irritation in the skin or suffer from adverse health issues if the roundup is accidentally swallowed.
A lot of people who have worked with Roundup in the past are claiming that glyphosate has affected their health. Till May 2022, Bayer had almost paid $11 billion for Roundup cancer lawsuit settlements and is still in the middle of settling the Roundup lawsuit. Lawsuits are filed against Bayer, claiming that Bayer did not warn of the adverse effects caused due to prolonged exposure to Roundup.
A Prolonged Exposure of 35 Years
Bayer was found responsible for failing to warn the users about the health risks associated with excessive exposure to Roundup. A 57-year-old man was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as he remained in contact with the herbicide for 35 years while maintaining his garden. This roundup lawsuit was settled by awarding the plaintiff with $332 million, including $325 million in punitive damages.
The Negligence by Bayer
A 49-year-old man from Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against Bayer, claiming that due to the use of roundup for 20 years, he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The jury settled this claim for $2.25 billion and declared Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) irresponsible for failing to warn the users about the repercussions.
Philadelphia’s first Roundup Case
This was the case of a mass tort program where $175 million in total was awarded to the plaintiff against non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that was caused by exposure to Roundup. This was the first-of-its-kind case in Philadelphia where the jury paid $150 million as punitive damages and $25 million as compensatory damages in favor of the plaintiff.
Roundup is a commonly used weed killer, widely applied in farming, agricultural practices, and even in home backyards.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was developed by Monsanto in the 1970s. In 2018, Bayer acquired Monsanto and began marketing the product under the Roundup brand name.
Roundup is considered carcinogenic for humans, which means that it can cause cancer in humans. Inhaling glyphosate for a prolonged period of time can cause respiratory issues like asthma and irritation in the nose. It can also cause irritation of the skin if it comes in contact with it. Accidentally swallowing roundups may also adversely affect health.
Bayer is currently in the middle of the Roundup Lawsuit. People who have worked with Roundup are claiming that the weedkiller has adversely affected their health. By May 2022, Bayer had already paid $11 billion for Roundup cancer lawsuit settlements, yet more lawsuits keep coming in.
Claimants are arguing that Bayer is at fault for failing to warn its users about the risks associated with exposure to glyphosate and, in turn, Roundup.
