Lawsuits Alleging Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide Causes Cancer Move Forward

Thursday, July 12th, 2018 Liability Litigation

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said evidence that the active ingredient in Roundup — glyphosate — can cause the disease seemed "rather weak." Still, the opinions of three experts linking glyphosate and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma were not "junk science" that should be excluded from a trial, the judge ruled on Tuesday.
