Thousands of individuals are stepping forward to file lawsuits against Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, over claims that the company didn’t warn consumers about the risks of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate. Studies have tied glyphosate exposure to severe illnesses like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and B-cell lymphoma. These lawsuits argue that Monsanto knew—or should have known—about the dangers but failed to warn the public. The Roundup legal battle has unfolded since 2016 when the Roundup Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2741) was established.

Bayer has settled over 100,000 claims for nearly $11 billion, including $1.25 billion earmarked for future cases. Despite these settlements, more than 4,400 lawsuits remain unresolved as of January 2025, with new lawsuits continuing to be filed. Keep reading as we break down the Bayer Roundup lawsuit, including the types of cancer linked to glyphosate, the legal process, who qualifies for a claim, what to expect from settlements, and how Ethen Ostroff Law can help.

What Is Roundup?

Roundup is a powerful herbicide that has been used worldwide for decades. Originally developed by Monsanto and now owned by Bayer after their 2018 merger, it’s the most popular herbicide on the market. First introduced in 1974, Roundup is primarily known for its active ingredient, glyphosate, which is effective at targeting weeds. Glyphosate disrupts a specific enzyme pathway essential for plant growth, known as the shikimate pathway. This pathway doesn’t exist in humans or animals, which is why glyphosate was originally thought to be safe for humans.

Roundup is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it kills most plants it touches. This makes it especially useful in large-scale agriculture, where it’s used on crops like corn, soybeans, and cotton, many of which have been genetically engineered to resist glyphosate. It’s also commonly used by homeowners for weed control and in forestry.

Which Roundup Products Contain Glyphosate?

As of January 2025, several Roundup products still use glyphosate as their main ingredient. Here are some key ones:

  • Roundup Ready-to-Use Weed & Grass Killer 2 
  • Roundup Ready-to-Use Extended Control Weed & Grass Killer Plus Weed Preventer 
  • Roundup Concentrate Non-Selective Herbicide 
  • Roundup Rainfast Super Concentrate Weed & Grass Killer 
  • Roundup Super Concentrate Weed Killer 
  • Roundup Concentrate Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer

Before 2023, the following Roundup products also contained glyphosate:

  • Roundup Concentrate Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer 
  • Roundup Custom Herbicide 
  • Roundup D-Pak Herbicide 
  • Roundup Dry Concentrate 
  • Roundup Export Herbicide 
  • Roundup Fence & Hard Edger 
  • Roundup Garden Foam Weed & Grass Killer 
  • Roundup Grass and Weed Killer 
  • Roundup Original II Herbicide 
  • Roundup Pro Concentrate 
  • Roundup Ultramax

Though many Roundup products still include glyphosate, Bayer plans to phase it out of residential products due to health concerns and lawsuits. However, glyphosate-based products are still available for commercial and agricultural use. To be sure, always check the ingredient label on Roundup products, as not all of them contain glyphosate.

What's the Link Between Roundup and Cancer?

Monsanto has claimed that glyphosate is safe for humans, backing it up with their studies. However, independent research connects glyphosate to cancer and other health issues. In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer linked glyphosate, the main chemical in Roundup, to cancer. The report showed that glyphosate could cause cancer in animals and harm human cells. Recent studies suggest that Roundup may be harmful in other ways too:

  • A March 2023 study from UC Berkeley found that children exposed to glyphosate may face a higher risk of liver problems and metabolic issues, which could lead to liver cancer, diabetes, and heart disease later on. 
  • A February 2023 study in Chemosphere showed that glyphosate might increase estrogenic activity in breast cancer cells. 
  • A January 2023 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found cancer markers in the urine of people exposed to glyphosate. 
  • In June 2022, the CDC reported that glyphosate was found in over 80% of urine samples from U.S. children and adults. 
  • A 2019 study from the University of Washington showed that farmworkers exposed to glyphosate had a 41% higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

People who use Roundup regularly, like farmers and landscapers, are exposed to higher levels of glyphosate.

Who Is Most Exposed to Roundup?

Certain groups are at a higher risk of being exposed to Roundup due to their work or lifestyle:

  • Farmers: who regularly apply glyphosate for weed control. 
  • Horticulturists: and greenhouse workers using glyphosate for plant care. 
  • Landscapers: maintaining gardens, parks, and public spaces. 
  • Pesticide applicators: working in residential, park, and forested areas. 
  • Forestry workers: using glyphosate for vegetation control. 
  • Home gardeners: who use Roundup for personal use. 
  • Spouses and children of agricultural workers: who may be exposed indirectly. 
  • Park employees: who mix and apply glyphosate products.

What Cancers Are Associated with Roundup Exposure?

Exposure to Roundup, which contains glyphosate, has been linked to several types of cancer, with a significant focus on non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Here are the key cancers associated with Roundup exposure:

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma 
  • B-cell lymphoma 
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia 
  • Follicular lymphoma 
  • Acute myeloid leukemia 
  • Large b-cell lymphoma 
  • Hairy cell leukemia 
  • Lymphoblastic lymphoma 
  • Mantle cell lymphoma 
  • Marginal zone lymphoma 
  • Small lymphocytic lymphoma 
  • T-cell leukemia 
  • T-cell lymphoma

Additionally, exposure to Roundup has been associated with various health concerns beyond cancer, including:

  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 
  • Chronic kidney disease 
  • Cirrhosis 
  • Infertility in men 
  • Birth defects 
  • Liver inflammation 
  • Diabetes 
  • Heart disease 
  • Metabolic disorder 
  • Neurological disorders 
  • Anemia 
  • Multiple sclerosis 
  • Developmental issues 
  • Gastrointestinal disorders 
  • Respiratory problems

Research continues to explore the potential links between glyphosate and other cancers.

Why Does the EPA Say Glyphosate Isn't Dangerous?

The EPA has been saying for years that low-level exposure to glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) isn’t dangerous for humans. Monsanto backs this up with its own research, claiming that glyphosate is over 10 times less toxic than caffeine. They also point to more than 700 studies that supposedly show no connection to cancer. But some recently leaked documents from the first lawsuits against Monsanto raise some eyebrows. These documents include emails between Monsanto and EPA officials, suggesting that Monsanto might have had a hand in shaping the EPA’s research.

Even though the EPA still says glyphosate doesn’t increase cancer risk, several countries have acted by banning Roundup products, including The Netherlands, France, Bermuda, Colombia, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Plus, many U.S. agricultural workers and landscapers have filed lawsuits, claiming long-term exposure to Roundup led to cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

What Are the Most Effective Ways to Minimize Roundup Exposure?

To minimize your exposure to Roundup and its potential health risks, here are some practical steps you can take:

  • Wear long sleeves, pants, gloves, goggles, and a mask to protect yourself. 
  • Read the label carefully and avoid applying on windy days. 
  • Stand at a safe distance while applying and avoid eating, drinking, or smoking. 
  • Wash your hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling glyphosate. 
  • Clean all equipment used, rinse sprayers, and change contaminated clothes. 
  • Stay away from treated areas for at least 24 hours, especially barefoot or with pets and kids. 
  • Consider alternatives like manual weeding, flame weeding, or organic herbicides. 
  • Buy organic fruits and vegetables to reduce exposure to glyphosate.

What Are Roundup Lawsuits?

Roundup lawsuits are legal claims filed against Bayer (which acquired Monsanto) by individuals who believe their cancer, mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, was caused by exposure to the herbicide Roundup, which contains glyphosate. Many of these lawsuits have been grouped together into multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2741) to make the process more efficient. As of early 2025, over 4,200 cases are still pending. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in significant jury awards, including a $2.25 billion verdict and a $78 million payout to people who argued that Roundup exposure led to their cancer diagnoses.

What Are the Main Claims in the Roundup Lawsuits?

The Roundup lawsuits mainly focus on the idea that exposure to the herbicide, which has glyphosate in it, caused cancer and other health problems. Here are the main claims:

  • Negligence: People suing Monsanto (now Bayer) say the company didn’t do proper safety tests on Roundup and didn’t warn people about the risks. They argue that Monsanto cared more about making money than protecting people from harmful chemicals.
  • Failure to Warn: A lot of the lawsuits claim Monsanto didn’t warn people enough about the dangers of glyphosate, especially the link to cancer. The company knew the risks but didn’t put clear warnings on the product labels.
  • Defective Product: Some people argue that Roundup is just a bad product because of its cancer-causing risks. They say it was made in a way that made it unsafe, and Monsanto didn’t do anything to fix it.
  • Strict Liability: In these cases, plaintiffs don’t need to prove that Monsanto was careless. Instead, they argue that Roundup’s harmful effects were enough to hold the company responsible for selling a dangerous product.
  • Breach of Warranty: Some lawsuits say Monsanto lied about how safe Roundup was, claiming it was okay to use regularly when it actually caused health problems. People feel misled by the company’s promises.

What Cancers Are Included in the Roundup Lawsuit?

The Roundup lawsuits mainly focus on the idea that exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, has caused different types of cancer. The lawsuits argue that Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) didn’t warn people enough about the potential risks of using Roundup. The most common cancers mentioned in these cases are:

  • Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
