Overview of the Roundup Mass Tort Litigation
The Roundup mass tort litigation represents one of the most significant legal battles in recent history, involving Bayer, the current owner of Monsanto, the manufacturer of the widely used herbicide Roundup. This litigation centers around allegations that glyphosate, Roundup's active ingredient, is linked to causing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and other cancers. Bayer, after acquiring Monsanto in 2018, faced an overwhelming wave of lawsuits, leading to an agreement to pay up to $9.6 billion to settle about 94,000 cases, with additional funds earmarked for future claims. The legal landscape of this case has been dynamic, with the Supreme Court rejecting Bayer’s appeal to dismiss the lawsuits, signifying the gravity and continuation of these claims.
