If you or a loved one used Roundup and developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or other cancers, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. Lawsuits against Bayer and Monsanto allege that Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, causes cancer, and the companies failed to warn users of the risks. Learn about Roundup, its cancer risks, the latest news, and how direct2attorney can help you seek justice.
Understanding Roundup Weedkiller
Roundup, developed by Monsanto (acquired by Bayer in 2018), is the world’s most widely used herbicide, applied on farms, gardens, and public spaces to kill weeds. Introduced in the 1970s, its active ingredient, glyphosate, targets broadleaf weeds while allowing genetically modified crops like corn and soybeans to survive. Available in liquid and granular forms, Roundup is sold by retailers like Home Depot and used by farmers, landscapers, and homeowners. Despite its popularity, concerns about its safety emerged in the 1980s, with studies suggesting glyphosate’s potential to cause cancer, yet Monsanto downplayed these risks for decades.

Glyphosate, Roundup’s primary ingredient, is classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015. A 2024 study found a 41% increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) among frequent users, with links to other blood cancers like leukemia and myeloma. Exposure through spraying, skin contact, or inhalation can lead to DNA damage, particularly in agricultural workers and gardeners. Lawsuits allege Monsanto knew of these risks since the 1980s but suppressed evidence, manipulated studies, and lobbied against warning labels, putting millions at risk.

Roundup Lawsuit Updates
As of April 2025, Roundup litigation remains a major legal battle. A Georgia jury awarded $2.1 billion to plaintiff John Barnes for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, one of the largest verdicts to date, though Bayer plans to appeal. In San Diego, a $332 million award was reduced to $28 million, reflecting a trend of slashed punitive damages. Over 25,000 lawsuits are pending in Cole County, Missouri, and thousands more are in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in California. Bayer has paid $10 billion to settle 100,000+ claims and set aside $16 billion for future cases, but faces new trials in Philadelphia and Sonoma County. Direct2attorney is accepting cases as Bayer lobbies for legal immunity.
