A jury has awarded $332 million to a man whose suit against Monsanto contended that his cancer was related to decades of using its Roundup weedkiller.
A jury has awarded $332 million to a Carlsbad man who sued chemical giant Monsanto on the grounds that his cancer was related to decades of using its Roundup weedkiller. A San Diego Superior Court jury awarded the damages Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Mike Dennis, 57, who was diagnosed in 2020 with a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His lawsuit contended that his illness was related to Roundup's active ingredient, glyphosate.
The jury found that Monsanto, which is now a division of pharmaceutical and biotechnology giant Bayer, failed to provide warnings of Roundup's risks. But jurors also ruled partially in Bayer's favor by finding that the product design wasn't defective and the company wasn't negligent. Dennis was awarded $7 million in compensatory damages and $325 million in punitive damages.
