Monsanto Round-Up Law Suits
Currently, there are over 13,000 law suits filed in the United States, against Monsanto and its parent corporation Bayer Pharmaceuticals, where the victims allege they were exposed to a probable carcinogen in the weed killer Round-Up. These victims were exposed to Round-up and have developed Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or other types of cancer. It is alleged that prolonged exposure to Round-Up pesticide significantly increased risk of developing Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or other types of cancer such as a form of B cell or T Cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, including its many subtypes such as follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia. If you have been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or any of its numerous subtypes after sustained exposure to the Roundup pesticide you could be owed significant compensation.
World Health Organization designation of probable carcinogen
The main ingredient in Roundup that effectively kills all pests is glyphosate. Glyphosate has been linked to many cancers such as non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. In March 2015, the World Health Organization designated this a probable carcinogen. Farmers, employees of garden centers and nurseries, landscapers and people who regularly used Round-Up at their homes have been the diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or other types of cancer due to their exposure to Round-Up. Exposure can occur by inhaling the chemical while spraying it on crops or plants and/or the mixing or cleanup of the Round-Up pesticide.
Damages afforded under the law
If you believe that you developed Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or another type of cancer due to prolonged exposure to Round-Up, you could be entitled to monetary compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future pain and suffering
- Past lost wages and/or loss of future earning capacity
- Wrongful Death benefits to the families of the deceased victims
Do You Need More Information About Monsanto Round-Up Lawsuits?
Over the past several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has been mounting in support of the claims made by the victims. A study published in 2015 by The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization, concluded that there was sufficient evidence to classify glyphosate or Round-Up's active ingredient as “probably carcinogenic to humans”. This classification indicates that exposure to Round-Up may be linked to an increased risk of developing cancer.
Since then, numerous other studies have come out, with similar conclusions. These findings have caused alarm among many people who are concerned about their health and safety after being exposed to this potential carcinogen.
It is important to note, however, that all these studies are based on observational research and not experimental trials. Therefore, a definite conclusion cannot be made at this time as to whether Round-Up is definitively linked to cancer. Until further research is conducted, and more conclusive results are obtained, these findings should only be taken into consideration before using products containing glyphosate.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence linking Round-Up to cancer, victims still have the right to seek compensation for their suffering through legal action against Monsanto and Bayer Pharmaceuticals. The thousands of lawsuits currently being filed against the companies represent an effort to hold them accountable for their negligence in making consumers aware of potential health risks associated with the use of Round-Up pesticide. It remains to be seen how the legal process will play out, but in the meantime, it is important to remain cognizant of the potential risks and take appropriate steps to protect your health.
Given the increasing evidence linking Round-Up's active ingredient, glyphosate, to cancer, all individuals must understand the potential risks associated with its use and make informed decisions about how they choose to handle products containing this chemical. It is also important to consider alternative options when possible and be proactive in taking precautions against developing cancer or other health complications due to exposure to Round-Up pesticides.
Currently, there are over 13,000+ lawsuits filed in the United States, against Monsanto and its parent corporation Bayer Pharmaceuticals, where the victims allege they were exposed to a probable carcinogen in the weed killer Round-Up.
