Cancer Victims of Monsanto’s Roundup to Receive $10 Billion Settlement
After years of litigation, German chemical and pharmaceutical giant Bayer is finally following through with its legal responsibilities. On Wednesday, June 24th, 2020, the company announced their plans to settle thousands of lawsuits brought forth by victims who alleged that they contracted cancer after using the weedkiller Roundup, which is manufactured by Monsanto – a subsidiary of Bayer. The monumental multi-billion dollar payout is one of the largest settlements in United States history.

San Francisco Jury Finds Monsanto Guilty in Landmark Verdict
Many people throughout the nation have been watching the drama of the lawsuit filed by an individual against the massive corporation Monsanto.

The reason this case has been so closely watched is that it is both the first of its kind, as well as likely to set the standards to which the more than 9,000 similar lawsuits now filed across the United States will adhere. In a massive victory for the people over a corporate entity, a federal jury in San Francisco found that Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup had contributed significantly to Hardeman’s contraction of cancer.
