Roundup is a toxic herbicide linked to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of cancer. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup, you may be eligible for compensation.

Roundup lawsuits are currently being filed against the manufacturer, Monsanto. These lawsuits allege that Monsanto knew about the risks of using Roundup but failed to warn consumers. If you have been

What is Roundup?

Since its creation in 1974, Roundup has been the world’s most widely used herbicide. It is a glyphosate-based weedkiller, meaning it kills plants by interrupting their growth cycle. Glyphosate was originally designed as a chelator, or plant nutrient, but was found to be an effective herbicide.

What is Roundup used for?

Roundup is used in agriculture, forestry, landscaping, and home gardens. It is commonly used on genetically engineered (GE) crops, such as corn, soybeans, and cotton. These crops are trademarked by Monsanto as “Roundup Ready,” because they are designed to withstand being sprayed with the herbicide.

Is RoundUp toxic?

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a part of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen.” This classification was based on studies that found an increased risk of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in people exposed to glyphosate.

Monsanto and Bayer, the current manufacturer of Roundup, are facing lawsuits from people who allege that exposure to Roundup caused them or their loved ones to develop Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma after using Roundup, you may be entitled to compensation.

What is the status of Roundup lawsuits?

One of the world’s largest pesticide companies, Bayer/Monsanto, reached an agreement of roughly $11 billion with most plaintiffs. The majority of filed Roundup lawsuits have now been settled (80%). In 2021 and 2022, a number of Non-Hodgkin’s Lyphoma patients received settlement payouts.

Many others will get their Roundup compensation funds throughout the year as their lawsuit is resolved

Last week (May 11th, 2022), the Biden administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court not to accept Bayer’s appeal that argued every Roundup lawsuit should be dismissed because it is preempted by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

According to the Solicitor General, EPA approval of labeling that does not caution about particular chronic hazards does not on its own invalidate a state requirement for warnings. This is a significant victory for the victims.

Is There Still a Roundup Class Action MDL Lawsuit After the Settlement?

Even though most claimants have already received or will receive their compensation payments, the Monsanto Roundup MDL class action suit continues. This is the same multi-district litigation that was established in October 2016, when a federal judicial panel formed a new Multi-District Litigation (MDL) for the Roundup cases (the “Roundup MDLG”).

The Roundup MDL made it simpler for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer victims to file glyphosate-related claims and participate in future settlements, which is precisely what occurred.

Is RoundUp similar to Paraquat?

Paraquat is another herbicide that has been linked to debilitating medical conditions, specifically Parkinson’s Disease. Like glyphosate, Paraquat is a chelator that kills plants by interrupting their growth cycle. Paraquat is also used in agriculture, forestry, and landscaping.

What are the side effects of Glyphosate use?

Cancer is the most serious adverse effect of glyphosate exposure, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), leukemia, and B-cell lymphoma (mantle cell lymphoma or MCL).

Workers who cultivate crops are considered the most vulnerable to NHL, a malignancy that may originate in any variety of body systems from white blood cells to the immune system.

Anyone using this product is at risk, of course. However, landscapers, gardeners, groundskeepers, and farmers are most likely to be exposed to pesticides.

Studies Conducted for RoundUp Chemical Exposure

According To Monsanto, glyphosate is non-toxic for people and animals. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains that glyphosate is safe if used correctly.

However, no clear definition of this term is supplied by the EPA. Agent Orange, on the other hand, was determined to be safe to spray under specific parameters and subsequently turned out to be harmful as we’ve now seen thousands of Vietnam veterans struggling with horrifying diseases.

Do you know who created Agent Orange? Monsanto did.

RoundUp Ready© Crops

Monsanto has developed the herbicide not just to remove unwanted plants, but also to create crops that are resistant to pesticides, allowing farmers to apply RoundUp on their crops without harming the food crops being grown for human consumption. Corn and sugarbeets were the first Roundup Ready© soybeans and canola in the 1990s, with corn and sugarbeets soon after.

Does Roundup Cause Cancer?

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma incidence has increased by 80% in the United States since the early 1970s when glyphosate was first marketed. Worse, the weeds that were being destroyed by glyphosate are now becoming resistant.
