What to Know About Roundup (The Health Risks)

Roundup is a popular brand of glyphosate-based herbicide used to kill weeds and grasses. It is widely used in agriculture and landscaping but has been linked to potential health risks and environmental concerns. It is by no means a small issue: Studies have linked Roundup to an increased risk of cancer. Litigation is now underway. Here are key things to know about the risks:

In 2017, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) took regulatory action to restrict Roundup on health grounds (the presence of cancer-causing chemicals), becoming the first agency in the nation to do so.
A 2019 study from researchers at the University of Washington (UW) found that frequent use of Roundup “increases the risk of some cancers by more than 40 percent.”
In 2022, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) proposed a new rule to phase out the use of Roundup on state grounds for public health reasons.

An Overview of Roundup Lawsuits

The popular herbicide is produced by Monsanto, a company that is now a subsidiary of Bayer. It contains the active ingredient glyphosate, which has been the subject of numerous lawsuits in recent years. The lawsuits allege that Roundup causes cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that Monsanto knew about the risks but failed to warn consumers.

In August 2018, a California jury awarded $289 million to a man who claimed that Roundup caused his cancer. However, the award was later reduced to $78 million. In March 2019, a federal jury also found Monsanto liable in a similar case and awarded $80 million in damages. In June 2020, Bayer agreed to set aside approximately $10 billion in settlement funds to deal with tens of thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits. Though, the company still argues that the product is reasonably safe.

Victims and Families May Be Entitled to Financial Compensation

Through a Roundup lawsuit, victims and families may be entitled to a settlement that pays compensation for economic damages and non-economic losses. These cases are highly fact specific. How much, if any compensation is available, varies based on many factors. Depending on the circumstances of the case, a Roundup settlement or verdict may include compensation for:

Medical expenses;
Physical therapy;
Mental health support;
Lost wages;
Loss of income;
Pain and suffering;
Mental distress;
Disability/disfigurement; and
Wrongful death of a family member.
