Recently, the courts granted the establishment of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) for the cases filed across the country involving lawsuits for Monsanto Roundup non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer. Last month, we featured a blog post where we went into detail about Roundup weed-killer cases, including the possibility of California requiring Roundup sold in the state to have a label that warns consumers about the cancer risk it poses.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to recent developments and the unique circumstances surrounding these lawsuits, Riddle & Brantley is no longer accepting new Roundup cases. We continue to work on securing compensation for our existing clients and are confident that justice will be served. Please stay tuned to our website for any further updates and thank you for considering Riddle & Brantley for your legal needs.
Monsanto is the company that produces Roundup, which is the second most popular herbicide used in homes and gardens nationwide as well as the most widely used herbicide used in the agriculture industry in the US. Since the 1980s, Roundup’s main ingredient, Glyphosate, has been suspected of posing a cancer risk.
A study conducted in 2001 found a connection between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Another study published in 2003 discovered that farm workers who were exposed to Glyphosate were developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at an increased rate compared with the general public. By October 2016, there had already been 37 Roundup weed-killer cancer lawsuits filed against Monsanto.
