Studies indicate that Roundup’s primary ingredient, glyphosate, contributes to the development of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and other forms of cancer.
Roundup Exposure Lawsuits
For decades, Roundup has been the world’s most widely-used weed killer on the market. From pervasive TV ads to prominent displays in home improvement stores and big-box retailers, it is nearly impossible to ignore Roundup’s market penetration.
However, we now know that Monsanto hid some of the dangerous side effects associated with exposure to Roundup. In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer determined that Roundup and other herbicides containing glyphosate are a “probable human carcinogen.” Studies also indicate that Roundup’s primary ingredient, glyphosate, contributes to the development of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and other forms of cancer.
Monsanto’s cover-up of this risk makes them liable for any injuries resulting from Roundup exposure. Roundup cancer warnings are now in effect worldwide and the sale and use of Roundup is banned or restricted in many countries, including Belgium, Bermuda, Colombia, Netherlands, and France.
A Roundup lawyer could advise you of your legal rights concerning injuries related to Roundup use. Many courts have already recognized Monsanto’s – and consequently, parent company Bayer’s – liability. Lawsuits nationwide are ongoing, and joining one with an attorney’s help could allow you to demand compensation from the multinational, billion-dollar manufacturer.

The primary ingredient in Roundup, called glyphosate, is a known carcinogen. This means that exposure to this ingredient significantly increases a person’s likelihood of developing cancer.
Exposure to Roundup is specifically connected to the increased likelihood of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This cancer attacks a person’s white blood cells, leaving them more vulnerable to disease or infection. An experienced attorney could provide more information about potential injuries connected to Roundup exposure.
