https://www.medlegal360.com/roundup-lawsuit-settlement-updates/

The roundup weed killer with its primary component glyphosate is proved to be causing non-

Hodgkin’s lymphoma and many groundskeepers and farm workers are proceeding with Roundup lawsuits in the United States. Currently it is the hot topic being discussed along with 3M earplug, IUD ParaGard, IVC filter, Essure and opioid lawsuits.

Roundup weed killer is marketed in 1974 by Monsanto. The prolonged exposure to glyphosate, a toxic chemical, caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Monsanto faced many lawsuits. Bayer AG inherited Monsanto and Roundup in 2018 along with all the responsibility to face the Roundup lawsuits. The carcinogenic nature of glyphosate is brought to light by many scientific studies. The IARC considered it to be harmful to humans.

Eye, skin, nose, and throat irritations, increased salivation, mouth and throat burning, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can be the short-term side effects. However, the most adverse side effects can be linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), leukemia, multiple myeloma, and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

The Roundup lawsuits started emerging in 2016. Roundup MDL was consolidated in California under Judge Vince Chhabria in October 2016. In 2018 Dewayne Johnson was awarded $289 million in damages but later it was reduced to $20.5 million on Bayer’s appeal. In 2019 Hardeman received a verdict for $80 million but that was later reduced to $25 million on revised judgment. In the same year Alva Pilliod and his wife were awarded $2 billion which was later reduced to $86.7 million.

After that Bayer had four consecutive wins in 2021 and 2022. However, Bayer’s motion to cancel all the Roundup lawsuits were rejected by the federal court. Bayer reached a big settlement with $10.9 billion to settle around 100,000 existing claims and also has set aside another $4.5 billion to settle the future claims.

The settlement will give an approximate settlement amount of $5,000 to $200,000 for each claimant. Around $167,000 on average for every person is calculated in another report. If you or your loved one is affected by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, contact an experienced attorney to pursue a Roundup lawsuit.

Ensure that your medical records are error free and solid enough to prove your disease and glyphosate exposure. It will help you bag your claim easily. A Medical record review company can assist you attorney in reviewing your medical records and win your claim.
