Bayer’s Liability for Roundup Illnesses
For years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has categorized glyphosate – the key chemical ingredient in Roundup – as a likely carcinogen. The suspicion seems all but verified as more and more Roundup lawsuits are filed. Some plaintiffs with the most dramatic cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other severe illnesses were regularly exposed to Roundup, such as during their work as a landscaper. One individual even had the chemical splashed onto his skin, which the product said would be nonharmful if washed immediately off. Despite him following the instruction to wash it off rapidly, he suffered permanent deformation where the chemical substance made skin contact.
The situation is further complicated by evidence that Bayer knew glyphosate was carcinogenic but did not inform consumers. According to numerous complaints – including those made by successful plaintiffs – Bayer’s own internal research and communications suggest the company knew for many years Roundup could cause cancer with regular use. Much of Bayer’s liability in Roundup cases actually originates from their intentionally deceptive marketing tactics that hid the dangers of their weed killer product.
Some plaintiffs have been awarded damages in the form of:
- Past and future medical care costs
- Shortened life expectancy
- Lost or reduced wages
- Pain and suffering
