A California appeals court upheld an $87 million verdict against Bayer in a lawsuit alleging that Roundup caused plaintiffs’ cancer. The loss is yet another setback for Bayer in ongoing Roundup lawsuits. The company recently announced it was setting aside another $4.5 billion for anticipated legal costs and potential settlements.
Another California court had previously reduced a $2 billion judgment against the company to $87 million. The plaintiffs in the case were Alberta and Alva Pilliod, who claimed that years of using Roundup weed killer at four residential properties caused their cancer. They alleged that Monsanto (the original manufacturer of Roundup since acquired by Bayer) manufactured a product with a known design defect, and failed to warn consumers, among other claims.
