$25 Million Verdict Among Recent Roundup Court Losses

The last-ditch appeal is the latest in Bayer’s effort to reverse a string of court losses in Roundup litigation. In recent months, the company has lost a series of high-profile court cases, and recently announced it was setting aside another $4.5 billion for related legal costs and potential Roundup settlements. In August 2021, a jury upheld a separate $87 million verdict against Bayer in another Roundup lawsuit.

Hardeman vs. Monsanto

The request to the Supreme Court centers around a $25 million judgment that was awarded to Edwin Hardeman, a California plaintiff who sued Bayer (then Monsanto), alleging that the company’s Roundup weed killer caused his cancer. Bayer said that in the original lawsuit brought by Hardeman, the court upheld the admission of expert testimony on causation that relied on little more than subjective intuitions rather than reliable application of scientific principles.” It may take the Supreme Court up to six months to decide whether to take up Bayer’s appeal.
