Roundup
RoundupR is the most widely used herbicide in the world. Since the IARC declared glyphosate causes cancer, our firm has been filing lawsuits against Monsanto, the maker of Roundup®. We have successfully settled hundreds of cases, some on the eve of trial. We are continuing to litigate these claims on behalf of our clients who were made sick by this chemical.
IARC’s assessment set off lawsuits against Monsanto around the country, in both state and federal court. Weitz & Luxenberg has been active in prosecuting the RoundupR litigation from its inception. We filed the first RoundupR case in fall 2015.
The lawsuits seek compensation for individuals who were diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and had extensive exposure to Roundup.
In June 2020, a settlement was reached by W&L and other law firms with Bayer/Monsanto for the MDL. The settlement was offered on behalf of almost 100,000 clients.
In April 2022, W&L began a jury trial in St. Louis for our client who declined to participate in the settlement. We started the trial and then stopped it when we successfully negotiated a large financial settlement for our client.
