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.
If you or a loved one in North Carolina has suffered from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or CLL after exposure to Roundup, you may qualify for a lawsuit. Call 1-800-525-7111 today for a free case review with an experienced attorney at Riddle & Riddle.
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.

April 2025 Update
Riddle & Riddle is actively investigating these claims and monitoring developments in the Roundup litigation. Here's a quick update on what's happening as of April 2025:
Thousands of Lawsuits Still Pending Nationwide
As of April 2025, approximately 165,000 Roundup lawsuits have been filed across the U.S., with thousands still active in both federal and state courts. While Bayer has settled a significant number of claims (the company continues to deny any liability and/or wrongdoing), many potential victims of Roundup exposure have yet to receive compensation. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after using Roundup, you may still be eligible to file a claim. Our attorneys are actively reviewing new cases in 2025 — please call 1-855-924-5476 for a free case review.
Recent Developments Impacting Roundup Cases
In late 2024 and early 2025, multiple juries around the country returned new verdicts in favor of plaintiffs, awarding tens of millions of dollars in damages. These verdicts continue to highlight Monsanto/Bayer’s liability for failing to warn users about the cancer risks associated with glyphosate. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence and expert testimony supporting the link between Roundup and cancer, further strengthening pending cases.
In March 2025, a jury delivered a $2 billion verdict against Roundup, roughly all of it in punitive damages designed to discourage future, similar behavior.
Time Is Running Out
State laws limit the amount of time you have to file a Roundup lawsuit. If you were diagnosed with NHL or CLL after Roundup exposure, it is crucial to act quickly. Many cases will reach critical filing deadlines in 2025. Riddle & Riddle strongly encourages potential claimants to contact our firm as soon as possible to preserve their right to compensation.
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.
