Have you ever used a roundup product to kill those pesky weeds that keep coming back in your backyard or garden?! If you do…… then you might be aware of its deadliest effects on people- as the herbicide killed the weeds at the expense of PEOPLE’S lives!
Roundup History- A Controversial Herbicide
Yes! We are talking about “The RoundUp Weed Killer,” and its history goes back to when it was the most profitable weed ever sold in the market. Monsanto- a now discontinued company witnessed skyrocketed sales of ‘Roundup’ because of its most powerful ingredient, “Glyphosate,” which could kill anything it comes in contact with!
Due to the extraordinary feature- the company introduced seeds in the market that were developed to resist the damage caused by Roundup. It was widely used by farmers, landscapers, and homeowners around the world to control weeds.
However, as time passes, numerous studies revealed how glyphosate is injurious to health when it comes to close contact with humans.
If exposure to Roundup has affected your health, consult a Personal Injury Lawyer Houston to explore your legal options.
The Legal Battle Unfolds
The controversy escalated when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified glyphosate as “carcinogenic to humans” in 2015. These accusations triggered a series of lawsuits against Monsanto, alleging that the company was aware of the potential risks but deliberately put lives at stake!
Roundup Cancer Lawsuits
In 2018, Roundup was purchased by Bayer. But, by then, thousands of lawsuits were already filed against Roundup, linking the product with cancer, primarily non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
As of May 2022, Monsanto has settled $11 billion against 100,000 Roundup lawsuits, but there are almost 30,000 cases still pending in court. Of these, 4,000 cases were consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States. The purpose of MDL was to group the cases to make the legal process easier for victims.
The Role of a Roundup Lawyer
Even after settling more than 80% of cases- Bayer and Monsanto, the founders of the company are still being sued today! Since it is difficult to read cancer symptoms until the last stage, victims learned about their condition too late, which caused lawsuits still in line. If you are also among those unfortunate victims who get hit by this hazardous disease, it’s time for you to reach out to a Personal injury lawyer Houston to get fair compensation from this multi-billion-dollar lawsuit.
