March 13, 2024. By Jane Mundy.

Monsanto In and Out of Roundup’s Weeds
October 28, 2023. By Jane Mundy.
St Louis, MO Monsanto had another Roundup lawsuit win on September 28 after two weeks of trial. However, it was back in the weeds October 20th after a Missouri jury awarded $1.25 million to a plaintiff, making it a first plaintiff win in Missouri and the first time outside of California verdicts of $80 million, $289 million and $2 billion in favor of plaintiffs. Several Roundup trials have taken place over the past year in St. Louis with all plaintiffs contending that exposure to the chemical glyphosate in Roundup gave them non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and that the agrochemical giant failed to warn the public of its dangers. It appears that the jury is still out on whether glyphosate is a carcinogen.
