Roundup Settlement Amounts [2024 Update] (2024)

What is the Roundup Lawsuit?

The Roundup Lawsuit is a legal case involving the popular weedkiller Roundup, which contains the active ingredient glyphosate.

The lawsuit was brought by individuals who claim that exposure to Roundup caused them to develop cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The Roundup litigation has gained significant attention due to Roundup’s popular usage in agriculture and from homeowners, and because of decades-long concerns about the potential health effects of glyphosate.

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup and is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

What is the Current Status of the Roundup Lawsuit?

A majority of Roundup lawsuits have been settled, as part of the $11 billion Roundup settlement agreement in 2020, but lawyers are still accepting new clients for a continued litigation.

The $11 billion settlement agreement included $9.6 billion for current claims and additional $1.25 billion to resolve future Roundup lawsuits.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined Bayer AG’s challenge to dismiss further litigation for Roundup lawsuits, allowing more lawsuits to be filed.

Exposure to Glyphosate and Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

There have been several research studies that have examined the potential link between glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

One study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2014, analyzed data from the Agricultural Health Study, a large cohort study of agricultural workers in the United States.

The study found that individuals who were heavily exposed to glyphosate had a higher risk of developing Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, with the risk increasing with the level of exposure.

Another study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2018, also found an association between glyphosate exposure and an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This study from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) analyzed data from the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and found that the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma was higher among individuals with high levels of glyphosate exposure.

What Health Problems are Linked to Roundup Exposure?

Glyphosate exposure has been linked to several other health problems in scientific studies.

Roundup exposure has been linked to the following health problems:

• Endocrine Disruption
  • Glyphosate was found in 99% of pregnant women in a Midwest birth cohort.
  • Some researchers have found evidence to classify Glyphosate as an Endocrine Disrupting Chemical.
• Kidney Disease
• Liver Disease
• Microbiome Disruption
• Neurotoxicity
  • Potentially linked to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
• Other potential health problems

Exposure to glyphosate in Roundup may increase the risk of developing Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma by 41%, according to a study from the University of Washington.

Previous Roundup Settlement Agreement Amounts and Verdicts for Roundup Exposure

The Roundup Litigation is still ongoing, and lawyers across the country are still accepting clients.

However, there have been several high-profile settlements and verdicts in the case:

• August 2018: A California jury awards plaintiff $289 million in damages in a Roundup cancer trial against Bayer AG. This award was later reduced to $78 million, but it serves as an example of the potential settlement amounts that may be available in the Roundup lawsuit.
• March 2019: Jury awards a $2 billion verdict to over 9,000 plaintiffs who claimed that Roundup caused their cancer. Monsanto liable to pay.
• June 2020: Bayer agrees to a $10.9 billion Roundup settlement with over 125,000 plaintiffs who filed Roundup cases. This settlement agreement includes $1.25 billion reserved for future Roundup claimants.

It’s important to note that these settlements are only a few examples of the many that have occurred in the Roundup lawsuit.
