SAN FRANCISCO - A lawyer for a man who said his cancer was caused by Bayer AG’s glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup on Tuesday urged U.S. jurors to “send a message” to the company by holding it liable and awarding millions in damages.
“A responsible company would test its product. A responsible company would tell their customers if they knew it causes cancer,” Aimee Wagstaff, a lawyer for plaintiff Edwin Hardeman, said during closing arguments on Tuesday. She called conduct by Bayer’s Monsanto unit reckless and offensive. The decision allowed the trial to proceed to a second phase in which the same jury will decide if Bayer is liable.
Brian Stekloff, a lawyer for Bayer, on Tuesday said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , which regulates herbicides, never removed Roundup from the market or required a cancer warning.
