The United States government has sided with Bayer AG (formerly Monsanto) in a lawsuit alleging that the company’s popular herbicide, Roundup, causes non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other forms of cancer.
In a “friend of the court” briefing, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Justice Department said that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is not a carcinogen (a cancer-causing substance).
The court filing came days after Bayer AG announced that it would be asking a federal appeals court to throw out a $25 million judgment it was ordered to pay in a recent Roundup lawsuit.
While the EPA previously warned that glyphosate may cause cancer, the agency later reversed itself following intense industry pressure.
The State of California, meanwhile, does consider glyphosate a human carcinogen and requires Roundup and other glyphosate-containing products to carry a warning label. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also included glyphosate on its list of probable human carcinogens.
Bayer, which acquired agriculture giant Monsanto last year for $63 billion, is facing thousands of lawsuits alleging that Roundup caused non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other cancers, primarily among farm workers and groundskeepers.
Multiple juries have determined that Roundup caused plaintiffs’ cancer, and Bayer AG has been hit with multi-million and even multi-billion dollar penalties.
The company denies any wrongdoing, although in recent months Bayer has signaled openness to a potential Roundup lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
