Monsanto Lawsuit Over Cancer Claims Can Proceed, Federal Judge Rules
The lawsuits allege that glyphosate, the herbicide in the widely used Roundup, can cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — and that Monsanto didn’t warn consumers or regulators about that alleged risk.
Claims against Monsanto received a boost in 2015, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer – part of the World Health Organization — announced that two pesticides, including glyphosate, are “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
