Roundup Lawsuit

Monsanto faces Roundup Lawsuit.

If you were exposed to Monsantoโ€™s Roundupยฎ and have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

The attorneys at the Strom Law Firm are investigating claims that Roundup Weed Killer, created by the company Monsanto, contains harmful chemicals that can cause cancer to those exposed to it.

If you have been exposed toย  RoundupยฎWeed Killer and, as a result, have developed lymphatic cancer within the last decade, you may be able to participate in aย Roundupยฎlawsuit to receive compensation for your suffering. For more information about how to participate in a class-action suit, contact us 803-252-4800 today.

Roundup Deemed Probable CarcinogenicIn March 2015, the International Agency For Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), issued a report alleging Roundup is โ€œprobably carcinogenic to humans.โ€ This contention has sparked concern regarding the widespread use of Roundup in the agricultural and residential community.

Roundupยฎ, a popular weed killer manufactured by the Monsanto Company, is widely used by individual consumers, the farming community, landscapers, and groundskeepers for controlling weeds. Roundup works by inhibiting the growth of a specific enzyme in plants called EPSP synthase, which all plants need to grow. Without the enzyme, vegetation will wither and die.

RoundupยฎManufacturer Monsanto Denies Cancer Link.

The IARCโ€™s conclusion that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, is carcinogenic is based on several studies of animal exposure in the US, Canada, and Sweden. These animal studies revealed an increase in tumor growth in mice when exposed to the chemical glyphosate. Monsanto continues to refute the findings by the IARC, claiming their independent review studies confirmย Roundupยฎ is safe. However, those affected in the agricultural community allege the independent studies were conducted to benefit Monsanto, who has continuously marketedย Roundupยฎ as environmentally safe and biodegradable. Their findings allege that there is no increased cancer risk to these workers even after prolonged exposure to the chemical.

While the two studies produce conflicting results, questions remain.

A number of Roundupยฎ lawsuits are now pending which allege that use of, or exposure to, Roundup may result in the following serious health conditions:

  • Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
  • Renal Cell Carcinoma
  • Pancreatic Islet Cell Tumors
  • Cancer
  • Skin Tumors
  • DNA Damage
  • Chromosomal Damage

Birth Defects andย Roundupยฎ Exposure

According to a study conducted in Paraguay,ย Roundupยฎ has also been linked to an increase risk of potential birth defects. The Paraguay study concluded that babies born to mothers living within one kilometer of fields sprayed with glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundupยฎ, are twice as likely to be born with birth defects. The contention is that Roundup may increase the Vitamin A signaling pathway when the fetus is developing, disrupting certain genes, and resulting in a birth defect.

Disruption of the Vitamin A signaling pathway can result in the following birth defects:

  • Neural Tube Defects
  • Spina Bifida
  • Microtia (abnormal ear)
  • Cleft lip and palate
  • Anencephaly
  • Imperforate Anus
  • Micro Penis
  • Autism

RoundupยฎLawsuits Filed Against Monsanto

Financial compensation may be available to victims who suffered life-altering serious health conditions after being exposed to Roundupยฎ. A number ofย Roundupยฎ lawsuits have been filed alleging that Monsanto failed to fairly or thoroughly research glyphosate and/or warn those potentially exposed about the risks. These lawsuits further allege Monsanto knew about the dangers of the chemical glycophate, and continued to manufacture and promote Roundup as safe.

The first Roundup lawsuit to go to trial resulted in aย $289 million verdict

In August 2018, the first Roundup lawsuit to go to trial resulted in aย $289 million verdictย for former groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson. Mr. Johnson was allegedly diagnosed with non-Hodgkinโ€™s lymphoma after regularly using the herbicide at work.

My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
