Bayer's Monsanto To Pay More Than $1.5 Billion Over Claims Weed-Killer Caused Cancer
Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has recently broken its winning trial record with a number of jury verdicts against it.
Bayer’s Monsanto was ordered to pay more than $1.5 billion Friday over claims its patented weed-killer, Roundup, was linked to users’ cancer, Bloomberg reported.
James Draeger, Valerie Gunther and Dan Anderson were each awarded a total of $61.1 million in actual damages and $500 million each in punitive damages by jurors in state court in Jefferson City, Missouri.
The three people alleged that their non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas — a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, part of the body’s immune system — were caused by years of using Roundup while gardening.

So, when's the EPA finally going to ban it?
When we stop restricting them from doing anything to protect the environment
Hopefully soon, at least force them to reformulate without the extreme cancer chemicals.
They can't. The cancer causing chemical (NNG) isn't something they added, it's inherent to producing glyphosate.
Well that’s unfortunate
