How Does Roundup Cause Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma?

Quick Insights

• There is a highly reputable 2015 study that established a clear link between Roundup and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
• In addition to research proving this link, more than 13,000 cancer patients are claiming a link between their illness and Roundup use.
• If you or a loved one developed cancer after using Roundup, Tosi Law can help you determine if you qualify for financial compensation.

The plaintiffs in over 13,000 lawsuits blame glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, for exposing them to an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In 2015, a study linked the substance to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other types of lymphatic blood cancers, and new research continues to investigate these claims.

How Glyphosate Exposure Occurs

Glyphosate exposure is very common, given Roundup’s immense popularity amongst golf course or campus landscapers, commercial farm workers, and residential users.

Exposure occurs when you:

• Get it on your skin while spraying.
• Touch wet crops that have recently been sprayed.
• Inhale it while spraying.
• Accidentally swallow it while spraying.
• Eat, drink, or smoke while traces of the product are still on your hands.

Once dried, glyphosate is unlikely to transfer to your skin or clothing, and it does not vaporize once sprayed and settled on surfaces.

You Could Recover Compensation If Exposed to Roundup

As of May 2019, there are more than 13,000 plaintiffs pursuing compensation from Roundup manufacturer Monsanto and its parent company Bayer AG. These plaintiffs allege that they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another type of cancer after glyphosate exposure.

Glyphosate is very common in the United States. Commercial farmers douse their fields in it, people use it regularly to kill weeds in their flowerbeds, and landscapers depend on it to keep gardens free of unwanted weeds.

However, there are very good reasons to question the herbicide’s safety.

Well-Respected Researchers Linked Glyphosate and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

In 2015, a study conducted by researchers at the esteemed International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found a possible link between glyphosate and several types of life-threatening cancer, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

While those who profit from selling Roundup question this study, the fact remains that an astonishing number (almost 13,500) of plaintiffs from all across the US have come forward claiming that their cancer developed after using the product.

Several Plaintiffs Have Already Won Against Monsanto in Court

In 2019, a California jury awarded Alva and Alberta Pilliod of Livermore, California, a payout of more than $55 million in compensatory damages and $1 billion each in punitive damages. Both of the Pilliods developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup for several years on their residential lawns.

While there is a good chance an appellate court could reduce their award on appeal, the fact remains that the jury sided with the Pilliods. Evidence presented in this case, and in the two that went to trial before it, was strong enough to prove a clear link between Monsanto’s weed killer and the plaintiffs’ cancer.
