1. Lawsuit

What is a Roundup Lawsuit?

The Roundup lawsuit represents the legal action taken by thousands of individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or other cancer types after being exposed to Roundup, a popular herbicide manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer). 

The lawsuit alleges that Roundup is dangerous and that Monsanto knew about the risks associated with the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, but failed to warn the public about these risks.

The Roundup lawsuit represents a significant legal challenge for Monsanto/Bayer, as the outcomes of the cases can impact the company's reputation and financial stability. The legal action also represents an opportunity for plaintiffs to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages associated with their illness.

The outcome of these lawsuits could have significant implications for the future of Roundup use and how companies market and warn about the potential risks associated with their products.

Many lawsuits also allege that Monsanto attempted to influence regulatory agencies and manipulate scientific studies to downplay the risks associated with glyphosate.

In conclusion, the Roundup lawsuit represents a legal battle between plaintiffs who believe they have been harmed by Roundup exposure and Monsanto/Bayer, the company responsible for manufacturing and marketing the product. 

These lawsuits are consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and have resulted in significant settlements for plaintiffs.

2. MDL

What is Roundup multidistrict litigation (MDL)?

Roundup multidistrict litigation (MDL) refers to the legal process of consolidating numerous individual lawsuits against Monsanto/Bayer regarding Roundup into a single case for pretrial proceedings. This process is designed to streamline the legal process, reduce the burden on the court system, and improve litigation efficiency.

In the Roundup MDL, which is being heard in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, thousands of individual lawsuits have been consolidated into a single case. This means that pretrial proceedings, such as discovery and pretrial motions, are handled collectively rather than in individual cases.

The MDL process can also establish common issues of fact and law among the various cases, which expedites the litigation process and potentially leads to a more consistent outcome for the plaintiffs. However, it is essential to note that while the MDL process can be helpful in some ways, each case is still unique and will ultimately be decided on its own merits.

In summary, Roundup consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) refers to consolidating multiple individual lawsuits into a single case for pretrial proceedings. This can help streamline the legal process and make it more efficient, but each case will still be decided on its own merits.

3. Who Can File?

Who qualify to file a Roundup lawsuit?

This includes individuals diagnosed with cancer like Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and family members of those who have passed away from cancer they believe was caused by Roundup exposure. 

The legal process for filing a Roundup lawsuit is complex, and it is crucial to seek the advice of an experienced attorney to help evaluate your case and determine the best course of action. 

Our experienced Roundup lawsuit attorneys can help you navigate the legal system, gather the necessary evidence to support your claim, negotiate with Bayer/Monsanto, or present your case in court to seek a fair and just outcome.

4. Related Cancers

What other cancers qualify for Roundup lawsuit beside non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?

While non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the most commonly associated cancer with Roundup exposure, other types of cancer may also qualify for a Roundup lawsuit. These may include:

  1. B-cell lymphoma: This type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma originates from B cells, a type of white blood cell.
  2. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): This type of cancer affects the blood and bone marrow and is characterized by the overproduction of abnormal lymphocytes.
  3. Multiple myeloma: This type of cancer affects plasma cells, white blood cells producing antibodies.
  4. Soft tissue sarcoma: This is a type of cancer that affects the soft tissues of the body, such as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

It is important to note that the link between Roundup exposure and these cancers is still being studied, and not all cases of these cancers are necessarily linked to glyphosate exposure. Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and believe it may be related to Roundup exposure, you must consult one of our attorneys, who can evaluate your case and help you determine if you have a viable claim.
