Summary
- Studies have linked Roundup to non-Hodgkin lymphoma for over a decade
- Victims can file a Roundup cancer lawsuit to pursue financial compensation
- A Roundup lawyer needs evidence of exposure and an eligible form of cancer
Bayer and its predecessor, Monsanto, faced over a decade of litigation over injuries caused by Roundup. The active ingredient in the herbicide, glyphosate, has been classified as a possible carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
The research on glyphosate can support a Roundup cancer lawsuit by people who developed cancer after exposure to the product.

Which Cancers Are Linked to Roundup?
What cancers are included in the Roundup lawsuit? The two forms of cancer most commonly connected to Roundup are non-Hodgkin lymphoma and certain types of leukemia. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma affects the lymphatic system, part of the body’s immune system. Leukemia affects the bone marrow that produces blood cells.
How Plaintiffs Prove Exposure to the Herbicide
The exposure from eating food from farms that use glyphosate might not be enough to support a Roundup lawsuit. Instead, most plaintiffs have evidence proving that they worked with Roundup as landscapers, farmers, or agricultural workers.

Notable Verdicts and Major Settlements
Bayer has lost many cases while also winning a few. However, ten years of litigation have ground down the company. In 2020, it settled about 100,000 cases involving non-Hodgkin lymphoma by putting over $10 billion into a settlement fund.
Tens of thousands of cases remain pending. These plaintiffs either rejected the settlement or suffered from a cancer not eligible for the case.
Who Qualifies to File a Roundup Cancer Claim?
All federal cases against Bayer were transferred to California as a multidistrict litigation (MDL). To file a lawsuit in the MDL, you must allege you suffered either non-Hodgkin lymphoma or leukemia.
Other cancers are not part of the MDL. To file a case involving these other cancers, your Roundup lawyer must file outside the MDL.

How Long You Have to File in Different States
Each state has a statute of limitations that sets the deadline for filing a lawsuit. For example, the California statute of limitations for injuries resulting from toxic exposure is two years from either the date of the injury or the date the injury was or reasonably should have been discovered.
What Compensation You Might Receive
The compensation from a Roundup cancer lawsuit should cover your economic and non-economic losses. These losses include your medical bills, missed paychecks, and pain and suffering.
