RoundUp—the glyphosate-based weed killer once ubiquitous in yards, farms, and public spaces—sparked one of the largest product liability litigations in recent memory. Over the last decade the science, the lawsuits, and the strategy of the company that now owns Roundup have changed dramatically.

Roundup was once the most popular weed killer on the market. Roughly ten years ago, independent research and regulatory reviews began to suggest a link between chronic exposure to glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) and certain cancers—most notably non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Those findings triggered a wave of product liability lawsuits against Monsanto, the original maker of Roundup. Monsanto was subsequently acquired by Bayer, which inherited the litigation.

If you frequently used Roundup—or were otherwise regularly exposed to Roundup—and were later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, you may be eligible to participate in a claim. Typical factors that matter include:

• Documented or testimonial evidence of exposure to Roundup or other glyphosate-based products.
• A diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma following that exposure.
• Medical records linking the diagnosis and treatment.
• Timing and duration of exposure (longer, chronic exposure tends to be more relevant).

Each claim is unique. Eligibility and the potential value of a claim depend on medical detail, exposure history, jurisdiction, and a host of other facts. If you believe you qualify, it’s important to consult with experienced counsel who handle mass tort and product liability litigation involving Roundup.

Claims in Roundup litigation seek various types of damages, including:

•  Economic damages: Medical bills, prescription costs, lost wages, and future medical expenses related to the cancer diagnosis and treatment.
•  Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
•  Punitive damages: In cases where a jury finds the defendant’s conduct especially reckless or egregious, punitive damages may be awarded to punish and deter future misconduct.

Settlements may be lump-sum payments or structured settlements that provide periodic payments. The settlement process typically involves submitting proof of exposure and medical records, negotiating a proposed settlement amount, and signing release documents to resolve claims.

If you or a family member were exposed to Roundup and later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, consider these immediate steps:

1. Gather medical records documenting your diagnosis and treatment.
2. Collect any records or statements that establish your exposure (work history, product purchase receipts, photographs, witness statements, or product labels).
3. Contact an experienced mass tort attorney who handles Roundup cases to discuss eligibility, timing, and potential next steps.
4. Be mindful of deadlines: while many claims are still being filed and settled, statutes of limitations vary by state and can limit the time you have to bring a claim.

The Roundup litigation is among the most significant product liability matters of this generation. If you were exposed to Roundup and later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, you deserve a thorough evaluation of your legal options.
