Roundup LawsuitsIn late 2018, agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto was ordered to pay out $289 million in damages by a California jury. The plaintiff was a 46-year-old groundskeeper suffering from terminal non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The plaintiff argued that Roundup was responsible for the development of his illness and that Monsanto had failed to warn users, like him, of the potential toxicity associated with using the product.

Research findings have revealed a link between Roundup’s active chemical – glyphosate – and an increased risk of developing cancer. Now, thousands of individuals are coming forward with their own stories of how their exposure to Roundup has jeopardized their health and caused them extensive damages.

Monsanto, and its owner Bayer, have vehemently denied the toxicity of their product.

If you frequently worked with or used Roundup for personal reasons, and have developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or some other serious health issues, then you may be able to file a claim against the negligent party that caused your illness.

Individuals Most at Risk of Exposure to Roundup [2022 Update]

Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the United States. Several Roundup products contain the chemical glyphosate, which has been popularized for its effectiveness in killing unwanted weeds on private, public, and commercial properties.

Over the past decades – and even again in recent years – reports have emerged which have found a correlation between glyphosate and an increased risk of developing cancer. The University of Washington in 2019 conducted a study that found exposure to glyphosate can increase the risk of some cancers by 40%. The agency’s cancer research division, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, also confirmed a positive association between glyphosate and certain cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was also found that glyphosate could potentially damage DNA in both humans and animals.

Because of these reports, many countries around the world have banned Roundup. However, in the United States, these products are still being used.

Roundup products still being sold in the U.S. which contain glyphosate include:

  • Roundup Ready-to-Use Weed & Grass Killer III
  • Roundup Precision Gel
  • Roundup Ready-to-Use Extended Control Weed & Grass Killer Plus Weed Preventer II
  • Roundup Weed & Grass Kill Concentrate

Because of its wide popularity, a large swath of the American public has been exposed to glyphosate. Those who have been most exposed to this chemical include:

  • Agricultural workers/laborers
  • Farmworkers
  • Groundskeepers
  • Landscapers
  • Nursery/garden center workers

Sadly, even individuals and families who did NOT work with Roundup but still lived in close proximity to commercial farms could have suffered from chronic exposure as a result of the herbicide’s residuals remaining present in the air, soil, and water for some time after the application of Roundup.

If you were frequently exposed to Roundup as a result of work or because of personal reasons, and believe you are now suffering some physical malady as a result of this chronic exposure, do NOT hesitate to contact the Kentucky Roundup lawsuit attorneys of Minner Vines Injury Lawyers, PLLC at (859) 550-2900 for a FREE case evaluation. We will help to determine if you have a claim and get to work setting things right.

How are people exposed to Roundup?

Exposure to Roundup and other glyphosate-containing herbicides typically occurs in the following ways:

  • Skin Contact: Individuals working with Roundup usually mix and apply the herbicide, as well as clean-up the equipment used to spray the chemicals. Additionally, exposure can occur during the actual spraying process or in accidental spills. The thighs, chest, and back are most at risk of heavy exposure.
  • Accidental Ingestion: Accidental ingestion often occurs when an individual handling Roundup fails to properly wash their hands before eating, drinking, or smoking. In other instances, the individual may accidentally consume the herbicide if it is placed in an unlabeled bottle or food container.
  • Inhalation: Individuals working with Roundup and other glyphosate-containing chemicals may have accidentally inhaled the chemical while spraying. Without proper safety gear, there is a very high probability that this could happen.
  • Take Home Exposure: The presence of an agricultural worker in a home could increase “take-home” exposure.

While a small amount of pesticide absorbed in a single exposure will generally not cause illness, it is the absorption of small quantities over long periods of time that end up causing serious chronic illnesses or even death.
