Roundup is a highly effective herbicide, and for many years it has been used widely in large-scale agricultural operations as well as in residential applications. The active ingredient is glyphosate, a compound that has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers. While the manufacturer Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) has disputed this, internal communications obtained through discovery indicate the company was aware of this risk.
Lawsuits against Monsanto and its parent company, Bayer, have continued for several years. As of February 2026, more than 200,000 claims have been filed in response to cancer diagnoses from Roundup exposure. Since 2015, more than 125,000 plaintiffs have filed lawsuits pertaining to Roundup, and Bayer recently proposed a new settlement offer of $7.25 billion to be paid into a trust that would compensate those diagnosed with Roundup-related cancers in the future.
Glyphosate has been linked to genotoxicity, or damage to DNA, oxidative stress in cells, and hormonal disruption. Additionally, glyphosate can disrupt the gut microbiome, potentially leading to immune system dysfunction. Agricultural workers, gardeners, landscapers, and others who use herbicides regularly face the highest risk of glyphosate exposure, but this substance has also been found in many commercial food products.
A complex legal grey area still surrounds glyphosate. While the substance has been banned from use in multiple countries, regulators in others, including the United States and Canada, maintain that it is generally considered safe for the intended use of the product. However, evidence continues to accumulate that not only is glyphosate dangerous, but also that the manufacturer of Roundup was well aware of the dangers the product poses to all users.
Product manufacturers are liable for any damages their defective or unreasonably dangerous products cause to users. When a company becomes aware of an issue with one of its products, it is required to assess the scope and severity of the resulting effects, and it may be liable for any harm done by the product.
Most defective product cases in the US pertain to products that are defective by design, had manufacturing errors that resulted in defects, or failed to include appropriate safety warnings and/or instructions for use. What separates Roundup from most of these cases is the fact that the company seems to have been aware of the health risks of their product, but they continued manufacturing and selling it regardless of these risks.
If you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer or any other medical condition linked to Roundup exposure, it is crucial to hire a dangerous products lawyer at your first opportunity. Your attorney can determine whether you have grounds for legal recourse and, if so, explain your options. There are many class-action lawsuits currently in progress against Bayer for Roundup-related damages, and many other individual claims.
A skilled dangerous products attorney at Kelley Ferraro, LLC can determine your most viable legal options for responding to your diagnosis. Some of the medical conditions that have been linked to Roundup were identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the most common of which is Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Subtypes of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma are also identified as risks, such as lymphocytic lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and more.
Monsanto and parent company Bayer have spent billions of dollars fighting these lawsuits and compensating those awarded damages. Confronting such a massive company is a daunting prospect, and you need to level the playing field in your case by hiring a dangerous products lawyer with proven experience handling cases like yours. The team at Kelley Ferraro, LLC will help you understand your legal options and guide you through this difficult case.
A dangerous products case is a form of personal injury case that seeks compensation for damages caused by a dangerous or defective product. In a Roundup lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that they have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another medical condition linked to Roundup exposure, and they must show that they have used this product in the past.
Your dangerous products attorney at Kelley Ferraro, LLC can help you link your diagnosis to Roundup use. We have represented many clients nationwide in these cases and have a wealth of experience to leverage in this type of case. Once we help you establish causation for your diagnosis, we will carefully review the details of your situation to accurately determine the full extent of the damages you are eligible to claim.
In a personal injury case, the plaintiff has the right to claim compensation for economic and non-economic damages they have suffered because of the defendant’s actions. In a Roundup lawsuit, economic damages typically include medical expenses and lost income. The plaintiff can claim compensation for the cost of all medical treatment they need, and they can also claim compensation for lost income and lost earning capacity if they are no longer able to work.
In addition to these economic damages, the plaintiff also has the right to claim compensation for pain and suffering. Receiving a cancer diagnosis comes as a psychological shock for most people, and treatment can entail a host of complex and debilitating side effects. You need to hire a dangerous products lawyer with a proven record of success with these cases to determine a suitable amount of pain and suffering to seek from the defendant in your case.
Many plaintiffs in Roundup lawsuits have also been awarded additional damages. In some dangerous product cases, defendants are forced to pay punitive damages when the facts show that they knew the risks their products posed but did not address them. Punitive damages can also be awarded in response to criminal negligence, willful misconduct, or regulatory noncompliance. Your attorney can explain whether this could factor into your case.
The first steps you take after a diagnosis with a Roundup-related illness are crucial. You are likely to have many complex legal questions about your situation, and you have limited time to build and file a dangerous products claim in the US. You need to consult legal counsel you can trust to gather the evidence needed to prove liability and accurately calculate all of your claimable damages.
