Roundup Lymphoma Lawsuit: A Guide (2025)

What Is Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma From Roundup?

Scientists believe that glyphosate disrupts the human endocrine system, which regulates cell growth and metabolism. Endocrine disruptors can cause cancer by allowing cells to multiply unchecked.

The cancer most frequently linked to glyphosate is non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Treatment for this cancer may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery to remove tumors.

Key Verdicts and Recent Settlement Amounts

Bayer has a mixed record in lawsuits. While the company has won some cases, it has also been hit with huge verdicts, such as a $2.1 billion verdict in March 2025. As a result of its exposure, Bayer entered into a settlement agreement in 2020 to resolve about 100,000 cases, and it is actively seeking to settle many or all of the remaining lawsuits.

How Plaintiffs Must Demonstrate Exposure to Roundup

Roundup is used widely. If you eat fruits or vegetables or live near a farm, the odds are good that you have experienced low-level exposure to Roundup.

However, environmental exposure has not yet been enough to support a Roundup lawsuit. Instead, plaintiffs must show much more substantial exposure, typically through their jobs as farmers, farmhands, and landscapers. The plaintiff in a Roundup lymphoma lawsuit can prove their exposure through their employment records.

MDL vs. Individual State Lawsuits in Lymphoma Cases

The federal lawsuits against Monsanto and its successor Bayer were transferred to California for handling as a multidistrict litigation (MDL). This process allows plaintiffs to cooperate in filing motions and recovering documents from Bayer.

However, the MDL is not the only option. A lawyer can also file in state court. This option may be beneficial if the state has a protective product liability law.

Statutes of Limitations and Deadlines for Lymphoma Claims

Every state has a statute of limitations for cases filed in its courts. Thus, the deadline for filing varies. However, most states use the discovery rule that starts the clock when you obtained or reasonably could have obtained a lymphoma diagnosis.

Who May Be Eligible to File a Roundup Lymphoma Lawsuit?

The MDL is only open to Roundup users diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and some forms of leukemia. However, you can still file a case for lymphoma or other injuries in state or federal court outside of the MDL.
