TL;DR Summary

A U.S. appeals court rejected Bayer's argument that federal approval shielded it from lawsuits over Roundup weedkiller, allowing a Georgia doctor's lawsuit claiming Roundup caused his cancer to proceed. Bayer maintains Roundup's safety but faces over 50,000 claims. The court's decision could impact Bayer's liability in similar cases, and the company has been urged to consider settlements. The plaintiff's attorney welcomed the ruling, while Bayer has won 10 of the last 16 trials but faces significant jury verdicts.
