said it reviewed “all of the available studies” about a glyphosate connection to NHL when coming to its conclusions.
In an 4 August call with investors, Bayer CEO Werner Baumann told them that the company was “making good progress in putting major litigation behind us”, and was buoyed by winning the last four Roundup trials after losing the first three. He said the company has successfully settled or otherwise disposed of about 108,000 cases so far. He confirmed about 30,000 claims remain unresolved.
In these trials, Bayer has repeatedly used the Environmental Protection Agency’s endorsement of the safety of Roundup’s main ingredient, glyphosate as evidence in its defense.Photograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty Images The court said that the EPA ignored expert advice from scientific advisors, and used “inconsistent reasoning” in concluding that the chemical poses “no risks to human health”. Overall, the EPA determination that glyphosate was “not likely to be carcinogenic” was “flawed” in multiple ways, the court said. The EPA faces an Oct. 1 deadline for redoing the work.
