A Georgia woman recently filed a lawsuit against Monsanto, alleging her spouse died of Roundup weed killer cancer after exposure to the product.

Plaintiff Linda R. claims her late husband Francis made regular use of Roundup for decades. This use began around 1990 and continued until 2017. Unfortunately, Linda says Francis was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which led to severe pain, suffering, medical expenses, and eventually to his death.

The lawsuit alleges that it was Francis’s use of Roundup that led to his diagnosis with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and that this suffering could have been avoided entirely if he had been given adequate warning about the product’s serious risks.

The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit was filed on multiple counts, including design defect, failure to warn, negligence, fraud, and wrongful death.

The lawsuit alleges that these problems with Roundup weed killer cancer are not unique and that, in fact, thousands of other victims have been similarly injured by this product.

This Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit and others like it claim that Monsanto has misrepresented Roundup as safe, when it in fact has been linked with serious risks, including cancer.

Background of Roundup

Monsanto’s popular weed killer Roundup (active ingredient glyphosate) has been linked with a number of types of Roundup weed killer cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Farm workers and home gardeners are among the most at risk of any Roundup side effects, given that they are most likely to be regularly using the popular Monsanto product. A number of plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against Monsanto with allegations of Roundup weed killer cancer, claiming that they were diagnosed with one of several kinds of cancer after using Roundup.

Studies published in the U.S., Canada, and Sweden have indicated a link between Roundup and cancer. The possibility of Roundup weed killer cancer has been known for quite some time—in fact, these studies date to as far back as 2001.

The Environmental Protection Agency had begun to suspect a Roundup weed killer cancer connection by the mid-1980s. On top of that, a recent report published in March 2015 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that glyphosate is linked with cancer. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup.

Filing a Roundup Lawsuit

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another kind of cancer after using Roundup, you may be able to file a Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit. While filing a lawsuit cannot take away the pain and suffering caused by Roundup cancer, and cannot bring a loved one back to life, it can help to alleviate the financial burden caused by medical expenses and lost wages.

The Roundup Weed Killer Cancer Lawsuit is Case No. 4:17-cv-02941, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of the Eastern District of Missouri.
