Roundup Lawsuit

Personal Injury Law

If you were harmed because of Roundup exposure and need effective legal representation, we encourage you to contact our offices for a private consultation, free of charge.

Launched in 1976, Roundup was touted as an innovative breakthrough for large-scale crops, commercial lawns and the household garden.

001

The non-selective herbicide could kill nearly every weed without causing harm to the environment or the people using it. At least that is what Monsanto claimed.

002

We now know that the active compound glyphosate is a carcinogen, and plaintiffs around the country allege that Monsanto has known this fact for years.

003

Roundup Weed Killer Linked to Lymphoma

Roundup lawsuits contend that agrochemical giant Monsanto purposely concealed cancer risks and failed to provide sufficient warnings on the dangers of glyphosate exposure in both agricultural and horticultural applications. Monsanto, which was recently acquired by Bayer, has always represented Roundup as being non-toxic to humans, even though thousands who used the herbicide are now battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other severe illnesses.

Individuals who developed cancer following Roundup exposure may have grounds for legal action against Monsanto. The majority of Roundup lawsuit filings have been brought by landscapers, groundskeepers and gardeners who routinely used Roundup during the course of their employment. If you were diagnosed with lymphoma or another type of cancer following Roundup use, reach out to Rutter Mills for a free case evaluation. Our veteran attorneys have the resources and skills to hold negligent companies accountable for their actions. Rutter Mills provides tenacious, results-focused representation to clients who were injured because of dangerous or defective consumer products.

Roundup Cancer Lawsuit Numbers Increase

In 2015, Monsanto reaped close to $5 billion for all its glyphosate-based herbicides, marketed under the brand names: Roundup Pro, Roundup Ultra, Ranger Pro, Bronco, Accord, Honcho, Campaign and Landmaster. Glyphosate is the most common active herbicide in American agriculture with over 200 million pounds used annually.

Plaintiffs argue Monsanto breached their duty to warn about Roundup cancer risks. Promotional materials and advertisements led the public to believe that Roundup and other glyphosate herbicides posed no unreasonable threats to humans or the environment. One Monsanto ad stated that “Roundup can be used where kids and pets play and breaks down into natural material.” Litigation filed against Monsanto states that the company employed deceptive and misleading language to boost Roundup sales, despite studies that indicate the cancer-causing effects of glyphosate.

Studies Show a Link Between Glyphosate and Cancer

A 2014 report, published in the Journal of Environmental & Analytical Toxicology, found that chronically ill humans showed substantially higher glyphosate residues in urine than healthy population. Researchers have determined that widescale agricultural use of Roundup is linked to higher rates of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – a cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. Aggressive, or high-grade forms of lymphoma can spread rapidly, reducing survival rates significantly.

An arm of the World Health Organization recently performed an extensive analysis on glyphosate effects and classified the agent as a “probable human carcinogen”—the second strongest hazard rating.

Glyphosate exposure has been associated with various types of cancer, including:

Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma
Large Diffuse B-cell
Folicular Lymphoma
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Anapalastic T-cell

I was injured in a accident & was rejected by 2 law offices that said it was my fault even though I was hit from behind. Rutter Mills got the job done. They had police testify and a witness. I was impressed with how thoroughly they got results. If you want a true dedicated firm that get you results this is it - hands down - Rutter Mills!

I can't praise Rutter Mills law firm enough Catherine Foster is not only a great paralegal handling my lawsuit with my lawyer Dan Dallia I truly consider her like family.So many times I was depressed and in pain and she would talk me through it encouraging me to be strong.She is also going through a lot like myself and completely understands and is able to show compassion a fully healthy healthy person couldn't.The discovery she provided me amazed me,and was so thorough very professional.I consider her my friend for life!

VET -David S.

I knew it would be a long hard road to get an award from the VA for my multiple disabilities. However, the process was made so much easier with Rutter Mills. I was kept informed and able to follow the decision making process with my claim at the VA. They were always available if I had any questions and responded promptly. I was able to obtain a 100% rating, and couldn’t be more pleased with how they handled things from start to finish. I would gladly recommend them to any vet facing a situation like mine.

Michael M.

My "Dream Team" Attorney Erik Porcaro and Paralegal Jackie Shuster worked over and above my expectations. She kept an open dialogue throughout the entire process and kept me informed through every phase of my case. I will always come back to Rutter Mills. Thanks for a great experience.
