West Virginia RoundUp Cancer Lawsuit Settlement FAQs

RoundUp is a popular weed killer used around the world. Originally manufactured by Monsanto, the company and product were purchased by Bayer in June of 2018. RoundUp contains a chemical called glyphosate.

• Glyphosate has been linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
• The World Health Organization (WHO) labeled glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen” in humans in 2015.

The WHO announcement opened many people’s eyes to the risks of using RoundUp, and we have seen many illness cases brought against Monsanto and Bayer since then.

RoundUp has many applications, from personal use around homes to commercial activity. Those most at risk of contracting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are those who have been regularly exposed to RoundUp. This can include:

• agricultural workers
• groundskeepers
• parks and recreation staff
• public works department employees

There are many times when victims do not realize that their cancer was caused by exposure to RoundUp. Our West Virginia RoundUp lawyer will be able to help you get the medical evaluations you need to determine what happened in your case.

• A California man was awarded $80 million after successfully arguing that his cancer was caused by RoundUp. The man had used the product on his property for 26 years.
