Is There a Roundup Recall?
No, as of mid-August 2021, there is not a recall of Roundup weed killer. However, glyphosate — the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide — has been linked to cancer, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and multiple myeloma. Thousands of Roundup lawsuits have been filed against Bayer alleging that the company’s popular herbicide causes cancer.
While Roundup has not been recalled, Bayer announced in 2021 that it would stop selling Roundup for residential use in 2023. In making its announcement, the company cited the continuing controversy over Roundup and the legal expenses Bayer has incurred due to Roundup lawsuits.
Despite Bayer’s announcement, the company has no plans to stop selling Roundup for commercial use. Roundup is the world’s most popular herbicide, and nearly 300 million acres of cropland are sprayed with glyphosate each year in the United States alone.
IMPORTANT: While most Roundup lawsuits have already settled (or are in settlement negotiations), there is still time to file a Roundup claim provided the case meets certain criteria.

Why Is Roundup Still Allowed in the United States?
Good question — and many scientists and consumer advocates argue that the use of Roundup presents a clear and present danger to those potentially exposed. However, despite growing evidence, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that glyphosate does not cause cancer, and the use of Roundup is still allowed in the United States. Many other countries, such as France, Germany, Denmark, Thailand, and Vietnam, have banned glyphosate completely due to its potential health risks.
Roundup and Cancer Risk
Research has increasingly tied glyphosate in Roundup to certain cancers, including non-Hodgkins lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
In one 2019 study, researchers determined that high exposure to glyphosate increased the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma by 41 percent.
Nevertheless, Bayer (which purchased Roundup manufacturer Monsanto) strongly denies that Roundup causes cancer — and no Roundup recall has been issued to date.
In 2020, Bayer reached a global settlement with thousands of Roundup lawsuit plaintiffs, totaling more than $10 billion in compensation. In 2021, the company announced that it would set aside another $4.5 billion for potential other settlements.
