In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans,” prompting increased scrutiny of Roundup’s safety profile and contributing to extensive litigation nationwide. Numerous lawsuits allege a link between Roundup exposure and serious medical conditions, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and other related blood cancers.
Roundup
Representing Individuals Diagnosed with Cancer After Glyphosate Exposure
Roundup is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States and around the world. Manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), Roundup contains the active ingredient glyphosate, which has been at the center of significant scientific, regulatory, and legal controversy.
Thousands of individuals have filed lawsuits alleging that long-term exposure to Roundup caused them to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other cancers. Juries across the country have returned substantial verdicts in favor of plaintiffs who claim the manufacturer failed to adequately warn consumers about the risks.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after exposure to Roundup, you may have legal options.
What Is Roundup?
Roundup is a glyphosate-based herbicide widely used to eliminate weeds in residential lawns and gardens, large-scale agricultural operations, landscaping and groundskeeping projects, and public spaces such as parks and schools. For decades, it was marketed as a safe and effective product. In recent years, however, questions have emerged regarding whether Monsanto and Bayer were aware of potential cancer risks associated with glyphosate exposure and whether adequate warnings were provided to consumers.
The Cancer Connection
Roundup Litigation and Verdicts
Roundup litigation has resulted in numerous high-profile jury verdicts and settlements. Several juries have awarded substantial compensation to plaintiffs, finding that:
- Monsanto failed to warn consumers of cancer risks
- The product was defectively designed
- The company acted with negligence or reckless disregard
Although some verdicts have been reduced on appeal, courts have repeatedly allowed cases to proceed, and litigation remains ongoing nationwide.
There have been tens of thousands of claims filed in state and federal courts. While some cases have resolved through settlement programs, others continue toward trial.
Allegations Against the Manufacturer
Roundup lawsuits generally allege that Monsanto and Bayer:
- Failed to adequately test the long-term safety of glyphosate
- Ignored or downplayed scientific studies linking glyphosate to cancer
- Influenced scientific research and regulatory findings
- Failed to provide proper warnings to consumers
Plaintiffs argue that consumers and workers would have taken protective measures—or avoided the product entirely—had they been properly informed of the risks.
Who May Qualify for a Roundup Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to pursue a claim if you:
- Used Roundup regularly for occupational or residential purposes
- Were exposed to glyphosate over an extended period
- Have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or a related cancer
- Can document your history of exposure and medical diagnosis
Each case requires a careful review of medical records, work history, and exposure details.
Potential Compensation
A Roundup lawsuit may seek damages for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
The value of a claim depends on the severity of the illness, length of exposure, medical prognosis, and other case-specific factors.
