Roundup, one of the most widely used weed killers in the world, has been at the center of thousands of lawsuits claiming that long-term exposure to its active ingredient, glyphosate, can cause cancer—particularly Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Plaintiffs argue that Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) failed to properly warn farmers, landscapers, gardeners, and consumers about the potential risks associated with using the herbicide. These lawsuits focus on the alleged link between glyphosate and serious health conditions that have altered the lives of individuals and their families.

Health Risks and Reported Conditions

Many Roundup users have reported developing Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as related lymphatic cancers, after years of exposure. In several high-profile cases, juries found that prolonged contact with glyphosate could contribute to cancer development, and that the manufacturer did not do enough to inform the public or take steps to ensure consumer safety. Victims often face aggressive medical treatments, emotional distress, and significant financial strain due to ongoing healthcare needs.

Allegations Against the Manufacturer

Lawsuits allege that Monsanto knew or should have known about the cancer risks linked to Roundup but continued to market the product as safe. Plaintiffs claim the company ignored or downplayed scientific evidence and failed to include sufficient warnings on product labels. These cases point to corporate negligence, asserting that the manufacturer put profits over public health by failing to protect users from a potentially dangerous chemical.

Damages and Compensation

Individuals pursuing Roundup lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts of living with cancer. Many cases have resulted in significant jury verdicts or settlements, reflecting the severe harm victims have experienced. Compensation may also include punitive damages aimed at holding the company accountable for its alleged misconduct.
