Understanding the Roundup Litigation
Roundup, a widely used herbicide manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer AG), contains glyphosate, which has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Extensive studies have shown that prolonged exposure to glyphosate can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly NHL and CLL.
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed nationwide alleging that exposure to Roundup has led to cancer diagnoses. Many of these lawsuits claim that Monsanto failed to warn consumers about the potential dangers of glyphosate exposure and misrepresented the safety of its product. Bayer AG strongly denies liability and/or wrongdoing in these cases.
Thousands of Claims
As of March 2025, roughly 165,000 lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturer of Roundup, with most of these being consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL). Bayer has already settled tens of thousands of these cases, agreeing to pay billions of dollars. However, not all claimants have accepted Bayer’s settlement, and there are still thousands of cases pending.

The Impact of Roundup Exposure
Glyphosate exposure can occur through various means, including:
- Occupational Exposure: Farmers, landscapers, agricultural workers, and groundskeepers who use Roundup regularly are at a higher risk.
- Residential Use: Homeowners who have used Roundup in their gardens or lawns over an extended period.
- Environmental Exposure: Individuals who live near areas where Roundup is frequently sprayed may also face increased risk.

May 2025 Update
As of May 2025, litigation surrounding Roundup weedkiller—linked to claims of non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to its active ingredient glyphosate—continues to evolve with several major developments:
- Potential Withdrawal of Glyphosate Products: In response to mounting legal challenges, Bayer has announced it may stop selling glyphosate-based products in the U.S. unless granted broader legal immunity. The company has already reformulated its residential Roundup products to exclude glyphosate but continues supplying it for agricultural use.
- Over 100,000 Claims Settled, But Thousands Remain: Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, has settled approximately 100,000 Roundup lawsuits for around $11 billion. However, about 67,000 claims remain active, including more than 4,400 cases in federal multidistrict litigation.
- Massive Jury Verdicts Signal Ongoing Risk: In March 2025, a Georgia jury awarded $2.1 billion to a plaintiff who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after long-term Roundup use. This verdict is one of the largest to date and highlights the continued legal and financial risks Bayer faces in court.
- Bayer Pursues Legal Shielding Strategies: Bayer is seeking protection from future lawsuits by petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that federal pesticide labeling laws override state-level failure-to-warn claims. The company is also supporting state legislation aimed at limiting its liability, with some laws already passed and others under consideration.
Why 2025 Is a Critical Year for Roundup Lawsuits
With new settlements being negotiated and courts actively scheduling trials, 2025 may be one of the last opportunities for victims to seek justice. Bayer has expressed interest in resolving more cases but continues to resist paying full value on many claims. Our team is prepared to fight for maximum compensation for North Carolina clients who have suffered life-altering diagnoses.
