Roundup Lawsuit Update May 2022

Exposure to Roundup, one of the country’s most popular herbicides, and specifically its active ingredient Glyphosate has been found to potentially cause cancers such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

A number of U.S. agricultural workers and landscapers have filed suit against Monsanto, the herbicide’s manufacturer, claiming that Roundup resulted in cancer.

May 2022 Update: An Ex-Monsanto CEO has been ordered to testify in the trial of a suit filed in Missouri State Court by a former Roundup user. The suit alleges that the herbicide is responsible for his Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis.

This is the first Roundup trial outside of California.

A 2015 report from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) bridged the potential link between the chemical component, glyphosate, and cancer. The report referenced studies that showed that there was “sufficient evidence” glyphosate causes cancer in animals as well as damaging effects on human cells.

In response to these studies and IARC’s findings, lawsuits were filed against Roundup manufacturer Monsanto.

The Roundup lawsuit claims that exposure to a chemical component of the herbicide, glyphosate, causes Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
