RoundUp Lawsuit

Roundup, one of the world’s most popular weed killers, has been widely used in both home and commercial settings throughout the U.S. since it was first released by Monsanto for sale back in 1974. With the assumption that it was a safe product, many people inadvertently exposed themselves to the cancer risk associated with their use of the product at no fault of their own.

The primary ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, was found to be possibly carcinogenic in a study conducted by the International Agency of Research on Cancer and the World Health Organization (WHO) back in 2015. Glyphosate is also the most extensively used herbicide throughout the U.S. and has been extensively used on a range of valuable crops for decades.

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup, you need legal help to pursue the compensation you are rightfully entitled to.

What Are The Negative Side Effects Of Roundup?

Glyphosate is the primary ingredient in Roundup and while it might be an effective agent against weeds, it has been linked to many adverse side effects and complications in humans, including cancer. Here are some of the negative side effects of glyphosate:

• Heart disease
• Colitis
• Reproductive problems
• Liver disease
• Birth defects
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Respiratory illnesses

Has Roundup Been Recalled?

Roundup has not been recalled since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. hasn’t found the active chemical, glyphosate to be harmful to humans. It is a highly effective herbicide that’s ideal for treating genetically modified organism crops such as wheat, soybean, and corn and actually works as intended, says the EPA.

Glyphosate has received plenty of negative publicity recently in spite of its widespread use, including a possible link between the use of products that contain it and diagnoses of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma along with other serious health issues. Despite the high-profile Roundup cases, Roundup along with other weed killers that contain glyphosate are still available for sale in the United States.

Are There Lawsuits Pending Against The Manufacturer Of Roundup?

Monsanto, along with its parent company, Bayer are currently facing legal action from individuals that believe Roundup caused them or a loved one to develop cancer. The Roundup lawsuits are legal actions aimed at allowing those that suffered cancer after being exposed to Roundup to recover compensation for losses incurred.

The people filing lawsuits allege that:

• Monsanto grossly overstated the safety of its product
• Monsanto was aware of the possibly carcinogenic nature of Roundup and deliberately concealed the information
• Exposure to the product caused them to develop cancer

Bayer agreed to pay more than $10 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims. It is not currently possible to tell when Monsanto and Bayer’s liability for Roundup-related cancer cases will end. Thousands of people have taken legal action, both in individual and class action lawsuits against the manufacturer. The number of people injured to Roundup use is only likely to grow.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or myeloma after being exposed to Roundup, you could be eligible for financial damages. Call our legal team at Hare, Wynn, Newell, & Newton to discuss your case.

Who Is Eligible To File A Roundup Lawsuit?

Just about anyone can file a Roundup lawsuit if they used the product and believe that they developed serious health issues after being exposed to it. Roundup exposure usually occurs in three ways:

• Skin absorption
• Eating food or drink that’s tainted or treated with glyphosate
• Inhaling glyphosate through the nose or mouth

The following people are the ones most likely to file a Roundup suit:

Victims

People that developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or any other serious health condition suspected to be the result of Roundup might be able to take legal action against Monsanto.

Family Members

If a person died due to Roundup-related cancer, their immediate family can file a wrongful death lawsuit claiming that the use of Roundup contributed to their death.

Estate Managers

People that manage the estate of a Roundup cancer victim can file a Roundup lawsuit. The estate manager can be a legal representative, close friend, or family member.

Just as is the case with most lawsuits, there’s a statute of limitations; the time that you have to file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit. This may vary from state to state.
