What is Roundup and Why is it Dangerous?
Roundup is a popular herbicide developed by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) and widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and home gardening. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2015.
Key Facts About Roundup:
Used by farmers, gardeners, and landscapers since 1974.
Contains glyphosate, which disrupts plant growth but may also harm humans.
Found in urine samples of 93% of Americans (CDC study).
Does Roundup Cause Cancer?
Multiple studies link Roundup to cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Key research includes:
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC): Classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic” in 2015.
University of Washington Study (2019): Found a 41% increased risk of NHL with high glyphosate exposure.
EPA’s Stance: Initially deemed glyphosate safe but now faces scrutiny over alleged industry influence.
Types of Cancer Linked to Roundup
The most common cancers associated with Roundup exposure include:
Type of Cancer | Risk Increase |
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) | 41% higher risk |
Leukemia | 30% higher risk |
Multiple Myeloma | Possible link |
B-Cell Lymphoma | Strong evidence |
Other health risks:
- Liver and kidney damage

Roundup Lawsuits and Settlements
Thousands of lawsuits allege that Monsanto (Bayer) knew about the cancer risks but failed to warn consumers.

Bayer’s $10 Billion Settlement
- $9.6 billion to settle 95,000+ claims
- $1.25 billion for future lawsuits
Criticism: Many victims argue settlements are too low.

You may qualify if:
✔ Used Roundup regularly for at least one year
✔ Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another linked cancer
✔ Exposure occurred before 2023 (when Bayer phased out glyphosate in residential products)
Note: Even if you used Roundup decades ago, you may still have a case.
How Much Compensation Can Victims Receive?
Settlement amounts vary based on:
- Severity of cancer (stage, treatment costs)
