Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Product Label Class Action Settlement Deadline Extended!

The deadline to file a claim in the Roundup^® Weed & Grass Killer label settlement has been extended through mid-February.

Consumers who purchased one of four specific Roundup products with a label including the statement “Targets an enzyme found in plants but not in people or pets” or a similar assertion are eligible to take part.

In addition to paying $39.5 million, Monsanto — the original Roundup maker — has also agreed to stop indicating on the product label that it only targets a plant enzyme.

This settlement does not resolve any claims of personal injury.

Claimants could potentially receive up to $53.15 per unit without proof of purchase. However, proof of purchase is required for those wishing to claim more than one unit per household annually within the Class Period.

The deadline to file a claim is now Feb. 16, 2021.
