What is Roundup?

Roundup is a glyphosate-based herbicide originally produced by Monsanto, which was acquired by Bayer in 2018. It and other glyphosate weed killers are widely used by farmers, landscapers, gardeners, and others. The generic version of Roundup is called Ranger Pro, which is also manufactured by Monsanto.


Is Roundup Safe to Use?

There are conflicting views regarding Roundup’s safety. It’s the most widely used herbicide in the United States, but recent studies have linked exposure to roundup to certain types of cancer.


What types of cancer has glyphosate been linked to?

Scientists continue to draw a link between exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The IARC has listed glyphosate as a probable cause of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The agency’s evidence found a link between glyphosate exposure and an increase in reported cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Roundup Lawsuit Finds Monsanto at Fault

Dewayne Johnson v. Monsanto Company

One of the first glyphosate lawsuits to go to trial was filed in California and settled in August 2018. Dewayne “Lee” Johnson worked as a school groundskeeper who routinely used glyphosate-based products on athletic fields. In his lawsuit, he argued that his exposure to glyphosate through Ranger Pro herbicide caused him to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer. Further, he argued that Monsanto was liable for not adequately outlining and warning of the risks of glyphosate. At the trial, his doctors testified that he is not expected to live past 2020.

A twelve-member jury returned a unanimous verdict in Johnson’s favor. They found that Monsanto failed to adequately warn the public about the risks associated with Roundup and Ranger Pro. They awarded the plaintiff $289 million in total. Roughly $39 million were for compensatory damages, and $250 million were for punitive damages. These included $37 million for non-economic damages, or $1 million for every year his life was cut short by the cancer.
