Federal jury finds that Monsanto's Roundup weed killer caused a 70-year old man's cancer, the second major blow for the company in a year.
The six-member jury in San Francisco federal civil court unanimously concluded on Tuesday that glyphosate — Roundup's key ingredient — was a "substantial factor" in Sonoma resident Edwin Hardeman’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
On Wednesday, Hardeman's trial started its second phase, in which the jury will decide if the company is liable and possibly award damages to Hardeman. The next phase will focus on how Groundup was marketed and if the company hid the product's alleged risks.In August 2018, another California jury awarded a groundskeeper $289 million in state court, after a jury found Roundup caused his cancer.
The lawsuit lists several studies linking glyphosate to cancerous behavior. The American Cancer Society lists the substance as a "probable carcinogen," determining it is "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a part of the World Health Organization.
