Roundup and non-Hodgkin lymphoma: where the litigation stands.
Years after the first verdicts, the case pipeline is still open — with important California-specific considerations.
Roundup — the glyphosate-based weed killer manufactured by Monsanto, now owned by Bayer — has been the subject of one of the largest product liability efforts in modern history. The core allegation: long-term glyphosate exposure is a substantial contributing factor to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and related cancers.
Who typically qualifies
Cases generally involve:
- Repeated Roundup exposure — commonly landscapers, farmers, groundskeepers, and heavy home users.
- A diagnosis of NHL or a related B-cell lymphoma.
- Diagnosis within the relevant statute of limitations — usually two years from discovery in California.
You do not need to have kept receipts. Employment records, testimony, and product-purchase records can all establish exposure.
Where the litigation stands today
Bayer has resolved a substantial number of cases while continuing to defend others. The pipeline for new filings remains active, and California juries have historically returned significant verdicts in these matters.
California's Proposition 65 warning obligations add a state-specific dimension to Roundup litigation that generic national analysis often overlooks.
