Roundup, a widely used herbicide among farmers, gardeners, and homeowners, is designed to effectively eliminate weeds. However, the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen, raising significant health concerns.
Understanding the Roundup Lawsuit
The core of the Roundup lawsuit revolves around the alleged link between exposure to Roundup and an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer affecting the lymphatic system. Research from reputable organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and IARC has indicated a potential connection between glyphosate and this type of cancer.
Key research studies have established a link between Roundup exposure and an elevated risk of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Notably, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been directed to reassess its findings on glyphosate and conduct further research into its potential health risks, reflecting ongoing scientific and regulatory scrutiny.
If you are a Roundup user who has developed cancer, seeking legal counsel is a vital step. Our dedicated legal team is actively filing lawsuits on behalf of individuals exposed to Monsanto’s Roundup, holding the manufacturer accountable for the harm caused by this widely used weed killer.
Current Status of Roundup Lawsuits and Settlements

Roundup cancer lawsuits have been initiated across numerous states, with many achieving substantial settlements for victims diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other related cancers. To streamline the legal process for the vast number of claims, Roundup lawsuits were consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The Roundup MDL has resulted in a significant $10 billion settlement, with $1.25 billion specifically earmarked for future Roundup lawsuits, indicating the ongoing nature of these claims and the commitment to compensate affected individuals.
The Scope of Roundup Lawsuits
Over 100,000 lawsuits have been filed in the Roundup litigation, demonstrating the widespread impact of this issue. A significant portion, over 80%, of these cases have been resolved through settlements in multidistrict litigation. While many cases have been settled, others are still awaiting resolution and compensation from the established $10 billion settlement fund. New Roundup lawsuits continue to be filed and will be addressed through this fund.
