The Lawsuits

After decades of use around American households and farms, many scientists have now linked the main ingredient in Roundup® - glyphosate - to multiple forms of cancer. For decades, it has been widely believed that Monsanto® knew of the dangerous effects of glyphosate but failed to warn the public and their customers of it.

Many consumers who have used Roundup® for multiple years began to develop certain cancers, such as non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and other diseases.

Roundup® and its parent company, Monsanto®, have denied claims that their product leads to cancer development and side effects in its users, contrary to the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

This, in turn, has led many Americans with advanced stages of cancer to file for compensation against the chemical giant. Now, more and more Americans are seeking compensation for damages, pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses.

Some notable victories against Roundup® include:

• $2 billion awarded in punitive damages in the Pilliod RoundUp lawsuit. The judge in the case stated that “in this case, there was clear and convincing evidence that Monsanto® made efforts to impede, discourage, or distort scientific inquiry and the resulting science”
• $300 million in damages awarded to Dewayne Johnson, a former school groundskeeper who had regularly been exposed to high levels of Roundup®.
• $20 million awarded to Edwin Hardeman for his extended exposure to Roundup®.

Final Note

Each year, millions of Americans are directly exposed to Roundup®, whether at work, in school, or in their own home. Although science has proven a link between glyphosate and cancer development, Monsanto® vehemently denies these scientific facts.
