Roundup (Glyphosate)

Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), alleging that exposure to Roundup, a herbicide containing glyphosate, caused plaintiffs to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Several high-profile jury verdicts have awarded substantial damages to plaintiffs, concluding that Monsanto failed to warn about the cancer risks. Bayer has agreed to pay billions of dollars to settle many of these claims, although it continues to defend the safety of glyphosate. The litigation has prompted ongoing debates about the regulation and labeling of glyphosate products.
