Roundup® Linked to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
JUNE 2020 UPDATE: Bayer, began talks about billion dollar settlements to resolve more than 42,000 lawsuits alleging that its weed killer, Roundup, causes cancer. Our Roundup lawyers expect a settlement agreement well north of $12 billion
Monsanto’s Roundup is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Farmers, landscapers, nursery workers, as well as home gardeners have used this weed killer– unaware and unwarned of any potential cancer risks.
To date, three cases have proceeded to trial with over 2 billion dollars in verdicts, and several other lawsuits are currently awaiting trial in 2020. You may be entitled to a substantial settlement if you were exposed to RoundUp and diagnosed with any of the below:
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
- Mantle Cell Lymphoma
- B or T-Cell Lymphoma
- Other Cancers
YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME TO FILE YOUR CLAIM
UPDATE: As recently as June 2020, Bayer has reached verbal agreements to resolve a significant portion of lawsuits filed against it which the company inherited following its acquisition of Monsanto in 2018. While an estimated 125,000 cancer-related lawsuits have been filed in the United States, this agreement aims to settle between 50,000 and 85,000 of them. The deal includes a $10 billion payout by Bayer in an attempt to end the expensive legal battle. While Bayer has refused to comment on settlements, payouts to individuals can be expected to amount between a few million to a couple thousand.
What You Should Know
Roundup is a common weed killer created by Monsanto (now Bayer) and is used worldwide for agricultural and personal use. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup and was developed and patented by Monsanto in the 1970’s. Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide and has been classified as “probably carcinogenic” to humans by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
While exposure to glyphosate may lead to certain types of cancers, Monsanto has also been accused of falsely marketing Roundup as “safer than table salt” and “practically nontoxic” to humans, birds, and fish. They have also been accused of failing to warn the public of increased risks of developing certain types of cancers due to exposure to Roundup’s active ingredient.
Despite current dealings to settle as of May 2020, Bayer will continue to sell Roundup in the United States for backyard and farm use without any safety warnings.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lymphoma, call us now! You may be entitled to a large out-of-court settlement. Choose an option below:
WHAT IS GLYPHOSATE?
The active ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, a synthetic herbicide, and has been linked to increased risk of lymphoma and leukemia. Glyphosate is the most used agricultural chemical worldwide and is used to kill unsightly weeds and grasses. 9.4 million tons of glyphosate have been sprayed onto fields worldwide while Americans account for approximately 1.8 million tons.
TYPES OF CANCER
Exposure to glyphosate may result in cancer. Specific types of cancer associated with exposure include:
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL)
T-cell Lymphoma
B-cell Lymphoma
Leukemia
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL)
T-cell Lymphoma
B-cell Lymphoma
Leukemia
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in the United States. Nearly 80,000 people will be diagnosed with NHL in 2020. Symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes, abdominal pain and swelling, chest pain, fever, persistent fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. B-cell Lymphoma is the most common form of NHL and accounts for about 85% of cases while T-cell Lymphoma accounts for roughly 15%.
Symptoms of leukemia include fever, chills, frequent or severe infections, swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen, recurrent nosebleeds, and easy bleeding or bruising.
WHO IS AT RISK?
Any person who has come in contact with Roundup through their occupation or personal use. Individuals such as farmers, landscapers, garden center employees, yard maintenance workers, at home gardeners, and others who have used Roundup weed killer are considered to be at risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma or other forms of cancer.
While minor exposure to Roundup can certainly cause non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Leukemia, those who are seriously at risk include farmers, gardeners, and landscapers, or those who have significant exposure to glyphosate.
Anyone who has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
IS THERE A TIME LIMIT I CAN FILE A LAWSUIT?
Generally, each state has its own statute of limitations which dictates filing deadlines. This time varies between each state, usually amounting to between two and four years from the time of injury, in this case, a cancer diagnosis. As current dealings with Bayer move toward a Roundup settlement, time is of the essence in filing a claim for relief as the settlement could create problems with statutes of limitations. If you believe you or someone you know may have a claim, the time to come forward is now.
HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER LAWSUITS FILED?
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto (now Bayer), by individuals claiming that exposure to Roundup resulted in non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. While no class action lawsuits have been settled at this time, cases involving individuals have resulted in large settlements. A San Francisco groundskeeper was awarded $289 million in a jury award after a court determined that his non-Hodgkin Lymphoma was due to exposure to Roundup weed killer. Similarly, a jury awarded two individuals $2 billion after the California couple was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma from regular use of Roundup on their lawn. In yet another case out of California, a man who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma was awarded $80.2 million after using Roundup for over 30 years to treat his property.
As recently as May 2020, Bayer has reached verbal agreements to resolve a significant portion of lawsuits filed against it which the company inherited following its acquisition of Monsanto in 2018. While an estimated 125,000 cancer-related lawsuits have been filed in the United States, this agreement aims to settle between 50,000 and 85,000 of them. The deal includes a $10 billion payout by Bayer in an attempt to end the expensive legal battle. While Bayer has refused to comment on settlements, payouts to individuals can be expected to amount between a few million to a couple thousand.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AS A SETTLEMENT IF I HAVE A CLAIM?
When dealing with product liability cases, the result of the first case generally sets the bar for negotiations for future cases. With regard to Roundup cases, the first set of claims resulted in huge verdicts for the injured parties. While this doesn’t guarantee that every individual harmed by Roundup will receive multi-million-dollar settlements, it does mean that in terms of a settlement package, those with valid claims will likely have higher awards.
With the pending case numbers sitting over 18,000, it is likely that a tiered recovery system will be implemented. This means that those with the highest exposure to Roundup such as farmers, landscapers, etc., with diagnosed non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, will likely be the top tier, while those with less exposure and other types of cancers will fall on a lower tier.
While the amount of recovery in dollars may be purely speculative, we want to assure you that your injuries matter regardless of degree and we will fight for the recovery you deserve.
