U.S. jury rules against Bayer in Roundup cancer case
Source: Reuters
(Reuters) - A U.S. jury on Tuesday found Bayer AGs glyphosate-based weed killer to be a substantial factor in causing a mans non-Hodgkins lymphoma, allowing the trial to proceed into a second phase on liability and damages.
The jury in San Francisco federal court in a unanimous ruling found Roundup, one of the worlds most widely-used weed killers, to be responsible for the cancer of California resident Edwin Hardeman. It was not yet a finding of liability against Bayer, however.
The case will proceed into a second trial phase before the same jury on Wednesday to determine Bayers liability and potential damages.
During that phase, Hardemans lawyers can present evidence allegedly showing the companys efforts to influence scientists, regulators and the public about the safety of its products, which they were not allowed to in the initial phase.

(47,279 posts)has expired, other chemical companies can start producing their own "Roundup" products. Now lets see how fast these monstrous companies can destroy the planet. It is almost feels like a race to the Armageddon.
Monsanto must die.
And Bayer used to buy prisoners from Auschwitz to test their sleeping pills on.
A pox on both their houses.

(7,358 posts)Monsanto/Bayer should pay for all cancer treatments, at least in the U.S. (I know dream on).
Monsanto marketed this stuff with lies. They are still advertising this crap on TV too. Die hard users of it will never stop though. Hope the damages are high.

(37,648 posts)It's hard to believe, but there are absolute devotees to Roundup. As if there is no substitute (there are substitutes). But the science has been in on this for a while, that there is strong enough proof of the harm it does that other countries have banned it.
People think if it's on the shelves at Home Depot, it must be safe.
