Edwin Hardeman said exposure to Roundup weedkiller was a substantial factor in his developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the jury agreed.
Hardeman’s trial may be more significant than that case. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria is overseeing hundreds of Roundup lawsuits and has deemed Hardeman’s case and two others “bellwether trials.”
Monsanto developed glyphosate in the 1970s, and the weedkiller is now sold in more than 160 countries and widely used in the United States. A third trial over Roundup is underway in Oakland, brought by Alva and Alberta Pilliod, a couple in their 70s who invoked a California law that gives scheduling preference to people who are ill. A school groundskeeper who won the first trial against Bayer in August relied on the same law.
The jury found that there’s a defect in Roundup, that Bayer failed to warn of the product’s risks and that the company was negligent.
