Roundup Lawsuits

Overview

Roundup Lawsuits: Protecting People Harmed by Monsanto

For decades, Roundup was marketed as a safe and effective weed killer for farms, landscaping, and home gardens. It became the most widely used herbicide in the United States and, to this day, remains on shelves across the country.

Roundup is at the center of some of the largest product liability litigations in U.S. history.

The reason? Mounting scientific evidence shows that Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, is linked to cancer — specifically non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and related blood cancers.

Courts and juries across the country have found Monsanto (acquired by Bayer in 2018) liable for failing to warn consumers of these risks. Multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements have already been awarded, and thousands of cases remain pending nationwide.

The Link Between Roundup and Cancer

Glyphosate: A “Probable Human Carcinogen”

In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Learn more on the study here: https://www.iarc.who.int/featured-news/media-centre-iarc-news-glyphosate/
In addition, multiple studies have shown higher rates of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in individuals exposed to Roundup.

What Types of Cancers Are Associated with Roundup?

Different cancers have been linked to Roundup; our work focuses on people who developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma due to their use of the product.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL)
Other blood cancers that are still under active study

Scientific Debate

While Monsanto continues to deny that Roundup causes cancer, peer-reviewed studies and jury verdicts have validated plaintiffs’ claims. The debate underscores the importance of aggressive legal action to hold the corporation accountable.

Bailey Glasser’s Roundup Leadership

Our trial lawyers have gone toe-to-toe with Roundup’s lawyers and have been victorious.

Bailey Glasser has represented individuals – and their families – in major Roundup cases for years.

In one such matter, our litigation team began a trial on behalf of an injured plaintiff that was set to take place over numerous days – even weeks – before a state trial court. On only the fourth day of trial, after Brian Glasser publicly examined the founder of the QuickPRO product on the stand, the parties settled the matter for a confidential amount.

Adam has litigated multiple Roundup cases in California, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. One of Adam’s trials against the makers of Roundup (Dennis v. Monsanto) resulted in a $300 million dollar verdict and it still stands as one of the largest Roundup verdicts to date.

Bailey Glasser's Roundup Team is gearing up for another round of jury trials across the country in 2026. We represent clients in every state and can assist you with your claim.

Currently, at least 60,000 individual Roundup cases are pending against Monsanto. Bailey Glasser is trial counsel in many of these cases.

Major cases that found Monsanto liable for its Roundup product include (*we were not counsel in these matters):

Daniel L. Anderson et al. v. Monsanto (2023): A Missouri jury verdict awarded $1.6 billion to three plaintiffs (the award was later reduced to $611 million by the trial judge, and the verdict was upheld on appeal).

Hardeman v. Monsanto (2019): The first federal bellwether trial resulted in an $80 million verdict for the plaintiffs.
Pilliod v. Monsanto (2019): A California jury awarded $2 billion (later reduced to $86.7 million) to a husband and wife who both developed NHL.
Bayer Global Settlement (2020): Bayer announced a $10+ billion settlement to resolve thousands of claims, though many cases remain pending.

Who May Have a Claim?

You may qualify for a Roundup lawsuit if you:

Used Roundup regularly for gardening, landscaping, or farming.
Worked in agriculture, lawn care, or groundskeeping where Roundup was applied.
Were exposed to Roundup at home or work and later developed cancer (especially non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma).

Important: You do not need to be a farmworker or commercial user. Many successful claims involve home gardeners and casual users.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roundup Lawsuits

Can I sue if I only used Roundup at home?
Yes. Roundup lawsuits are not limited to agricultural workers like farmers, field workers, and landscape gardeners. Even occasional use can form the basis of a claim if you later developed cancer.

What evidence might I need to prove my case?
Common forms of proof include purchase receipts, lawn care invoices, employment records, or testimony showing your Roundup use. Medical records linking your diagnosis to Roundup exposure are also key. Our team will work diligently to obtain all the documents needed and use national experts at trial to prove your case.

Has Monsanto or Bayer admitted Roundup causes cancer?
No. Monsanto continues to defend Roundup’s safety, but juries have repeatedly found Monsanto liable for failing to warn about cancer risks.

How much are Roundup settlements worth?
Settlement values vary based on exposure history, medical expenses, age, and the severity of the diagnosis. Some cases have resulted in millions in compensation. Every case is different because of these factors – but our team will work to build your case.

How long do I have to file a Roundup lawsuit?
Deadlines (also known as “statute of limitations”) vary by state, typically one to three years from diagnosis. Because statutes of limitations are strict, it is essential to speak with a lawyer as soon as practicable.

Do I need to pay upfront legal fees?
No. Our firm handles Roundup cases on a contingency basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win for you.
