Roundup trial: Cancer patient takes on Monsanto in first trial over weed killer risk

CNN  

CNN — On bad days, Dewayne Johnson is too crippled to speak. Courtesy Dewayne Johnson CNN reported last year that more than 800 patients were suing Monsanto, claiming its popular weed killer, Roundup, gave them cancer. In March 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer said the key ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” “For the herbicide glyphosate, there was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma,” the report states. “More than 800 scientific studies, the U.S. EPA, the National Institutes of Health and regulators around the world have concluded that glyphosate is safe for use and does not cause cancer,” Scott Partridge, Monsanto’s vice president of strategy, said in a statement. The National Pesticide Information Center – a cooperative between Oregon State University and the EPA – said studies on cancer rates in humans “have provided conflicting results on whether the use of glyphosate containing products is associated with cancer.” Many more cases to follow Johnson’s case – and hundreds of similar cases against Monsanto – have been filed in various state courts, Litzenburg said.Many other cases have been filed in federal multidistrict litigation, or MDL.
