About Monsanto Roundup Cancer

The herbicide and active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, called glyphosate, has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). Those heavily exposed are filing Roundup lawsuits against Monsanto, the maker of the weed killer, claiming that exposure to glyphosate caused them to develop cancer.

A July 2015 report published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the cancer research arm of the WHO, states:

“Two large case-control studies of NHL from Canada and the USA, and two case-control studies from Sweden reported statistically significant increased risks of NHL [non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma] in association with exposure to glyphosate.”

Today, glyphosate is the most widely used weed killer in the U.S. In fact, roughly half of Monsanto’s yearly revenue comes from their Roundup line of products.

Roundup Injuries & Side Effects

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system that forms when your body creates too many abnormal white blood cells. Common symptoms of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes, pain in the chest or abdomen, fatigue, fever, and more.

Those who use Roundup weed killer or have used it in the past are encouraged to speak with their doctor, especially if they display any abnormal symptoms related to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or other conditions.

Roundup Lawsuit Settlement

A settlement allows both parties in a lawsuit to come to an agreement without taking the case to trial. In Monsanto Roundup settlements, the plaintiff accepts a payout from the defendants (Monsanto and/or Bayer).

As of February 2020, Bayer is trying to reach tens of thousands of Monsanto Roundup lawsuit settlements through legal mediation.
