Bayer was ordered to pay more than $2 billion to a California couple who claimed they got cancer as a result of using Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller for about 30 years. Bayer has now lost three trials in a row over claims that Roundup causes cancer.
Bayer has lost three trials in a row over claims that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer.
The jury’s decision “conflicts directly with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s interim registration review decision released just last month, the consensus among leading health regulators worldwide that glyphosate-based products can be used safely and that glyphosate is not carcinogenic,” Bayer said in a statement.
Roundup manufacturer Monsanto Co., which Bayer acquired last June, is the named defendant in similar U.S. lawsuits filed by at least 13,400 plaintiffs. “In this case there appeared to be more detailed evidence damaging to Monsanto, which strengthens plaintiffs’ cases down the pipeline even further,” said Pavlik, who has followed the trials.
“That is a number that changes things,” attorney Brent Wisner said during closing arguments at the end of a monthlong trial.
