"Bayer Faces $2.25 Billion Verdict in Roundup Cancer Lawsuit"
TL;DR Summary
A Pennsylvania jury has ordered Bayer to pay $2.25 billion after finding that its Roundup herbicide caused a man's cancer. The jury concluded that Roundup is a defective cancer-causing product and that Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, was negligent and failed to warn about the dangers of the weed killer. Bayer plans to appeal the verdict, stating that its products can be used safely and are not carcinogenic. This is the latest in a series of legal battles over Roundup, with the company having previously paid out over $10 billion in settlements to cancer patients who claimed the herbicide caused their non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
