Roundup, a herbicide developed by Monsanto, has been used widely in the United States since the 1970s. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world. The general use of Roundup has resulted in concerns about its impact on human health and the environment.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans." The classification prompted a series of legal battles and regulatory changes surrounding glyphosate use in the US.
Roundup weed killers have been prohibited or restricted in a number of countries, including: Malawi, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Oman, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Bermuda, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Italy and The Netherlands.
In recent years, many lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto, alleging that Roundup caused cancer and other health problems. Some studies have linked glyphosate exposure to an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.
In 2018, a California jury awarded $289 million in damages to a school groundskeeper who claimed that Roundup had caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although the award was later reduced, the verdict sparked a wave of Roundup-related lawsuits.
In 2019, Bayer AG, which had acquired Monsanto, announced a $10 billion settlement to resolve most US Roundup lawsuits. The settlement also included provisions for future claims related to Roundup.
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that targets specific enzymes in weeds, making it an effective tool for eradicating them without causing damage to other plants. As the active ingredient in Monsanto Co.'s Roundup weed killer, glyphosate is commonly used in the agricultural industry.
American farmers use nearly a pound of the chemical on each acre of cropland every year. However, farmers and landscapers are often exposed to high levels of glyphosate, which can have profound health implications.
Glyphosate traces have been found in corn, soy, and wheat-based products due to the herbicide's widespread use in the agricultural industry. Additionally, glyphosate has been detected in human urine samples and women's breast milk.
While Monsanto claimed for years that glyphosate is harmless to humans, studies have shown a link between glyphosate exposure and the risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and other health issues.

It is essential to speak with an experienced Roundup attorney to determine your case's applicable statute of limitations.
