Bayer nears seven-year low after California couple awarded $2 billion in Roundup trial via LudwigBurger
Frankfurt - Bayer shares fell by as much as 5 percent on Tuesday after a California couple were awarded more than $2 billion in the largest U.S. jury penalty over allegations its Roundup weed killer causes cancer.
Bayer said in a statement on Monday it was disappointed with the verdict and would appeal. A spokesman called the jury’s decision “excessive and unjustifiable”. “However, the level of compensatory damages is still likely to be somewhat of a concern to the market given the level is above the Hardeman case,” they added, referring to $5 million in compensatory damages awarded to a plaintiff in a previous case.
