Roundup (Glyphosate litigation)
The Roundup (Glyphosate) litigation involves legal cases against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) over claims that their popular weed-killer, Roundup, containing the chemical glyphosate, causes cancer—specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Plaintiffs argue that Monsanto failed to warn users about potential health risks despite scientific evidence and regulatory reviews. Some lawsuits have resulted in large jury awards for damages. The dispute highlights ongoing debates over glyphosate’s safety, regulatory oversight, and corporate responsibility, with major implications for farmers, consumers, and agricultural practices worldwide.
