Roundup is a popular weed killer created by Monsanto in the 1970s. The lawn and garden version of the product previously contained the chemical glyphosate. 

 Glyphosate exposure has been linked to several forms of cancer—most notably, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Some studies also associate the use of glyphosate with other health conditions like infertility, kidney and liver problems, and gut microbiome damage.

Yes. Monsanto and Bayer have been ordered to pay nearly $11 billion in settlements as the result of Roundup lawsuits so far. In October 2024, William Melissen was awarded a $78 million settlement after a Philadelphia jury decided his cancer was caused by glyphosate exposure due to Roundup use. Melissen frequently used Roundup over three decades and was later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Bayer was ordered to pay Melissen $3 million in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages. Bayer and Monsanto are still facing thousands of other pending Roundup lawsuits.

The new lawn and garden version of Roundup contains four active ingredients: diquat dibromide, fluazifop-P-butyl, triclopyr, and imazapic. Studies suggest these chemicals may be even more harmful to the health than glyphosate, causing reproductive harm, neurotoxicity, and kidney and liver damage.

If you developed cancer after using Roundup, you may qualify for compensation. It’s important to speak to an attorney who can assess your eligibility and help you understand your legal options. Contact OCA today for more information and assistance.

Eligibility for a Roundup lawsuit may involve showing proof of a glyphosate-related cancer diagnosis—such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, or Burkitt lymphoma—obtained on or after June 1, 2018, in line with standard statutes of limitations in many states.
