The Roundup litigation is one of the largest mass tort cases in U.S. history. Tens of thousands of individuals have filed claims alleging that long-term exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup weed killer, caused them to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers. Here's where things stand today.
A Brief History
Roundup has been the world's most widely used herbicide for decades. Millions of Americans have used it regularly. Homeowners, landscapers, farmers, and groundskeepers all relied on it for weed control. In 2015, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans." That classification prompted a wave of legal action.
Since then, juries have awarded significant verdicts in multiple bellwether trials. Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has set aside billions of dollars in settlement funds.
Where do settlements stand now?
Bayer has resolved a large number of Roundup claims, but the litigation continues. New cases are still being filed, and courts are processing existing claims. Individual settlement amounts vary depending on diagnosis severity, duration of exposure, and the strength of medical evidence linking Roundup use to illness.
Still Filing?
New Roundup claims are still being accepted. If you used Roundup regularly and have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another form of cancer, you may still be eligible to file.
Who may still qualify?
You may be eligible for a Roundup claim if you used Roundup or a glyphosate-based herbicide on a regular basis, either professionally or around your home, and you were subsequently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, or another related blood cancer.
Even if you used Roundup years ago, your claim may still be valid. This depends on your state's statute of limitations and when you received your diagnosis.
What should you do?
If you or someone you care about used Roundup and developed cancer, time matters. Statutes of limitations vary by state. Evidence also becomes harder to gather as time passes. Starting a case review sooner puts you in a stronger position.
A free case review takes a few minutes and doesn't obligate you to anything. It helps determine whether your situation fits within the current litigation.
