Types of Cancer Linked to Roundup
Despite Bayer’s repeated statements that Roundup and glyphosate don’t cause cancer, emerging research has continued to claim otherwise.
Exposure to glyphosate can increase the risk of certain cancers by as much as 41%, according to the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS).
The majority of Roundup cancer cases involve blood cancers that impact the production of white blood cells in the body.
Cancers that qualify for Roundup lawsuits may include:
- B-cell lymphoma
- Burkitt lymphoma
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Follicular lymphoma
- Hairy cell leukemia
- Lymphoblastic lymphoma
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- Marginal zone lymphoma
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Small lymphocytic lymphoma
- T-cell leukemia
- T-cell lymphoma
Around 85% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases are B-cell lymphomas, which develop when the genetic code of a lymphocyte is altered. Studies show glyphosate is associated with epigenotoxicity, meaning it may cause changes in genes.
After a cancer diagnosis, Roundup lawsuit compensation may be able to help pay for medical bills, lost wages from missed work, and other daily expenses.
Get the Money You Deserve
Our Roundup lawsuit attorneys have already secured millions from glyphosate claims. Let us get you the money you deserve.
Roundup Lawsuit Deadlines
Every state has Roundup lawsuit deadlines or statutes of limitations, which prevent people from taking legal action after a certain point. This makes it very important to contact a national Roundup law firm like Sokolove Law as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the Roundup lawsuit statute of limitations is between 1 and 3 years after your cancer diagnosis, the death of your loved one, or the date you learned about the connection between Roundup exposure and your illness.
Once the statute of limitations passes, you won’t be able to file a Roundup cancer claim again.
We can help you figure these deadlines out and file before it’s too late. Call (800) 995-1212 now, so you don’t miss out on the justice you deserve.
Monsanto Roundup Lawsuit Update 2023-2024
Over the past few months, significant Roundup cancer lawsuit updates have provided victims with hope that justice may be available to those affected by this dangerous weed killer.
The latest Bayer and Monsanto Roundup lawsuit updates include:
- November 2024: Bayer is still facing around 58,000 Roundup cancer claims. While the majority of these have been filed in state courts, over 4,300 claims are pending in the Roundup class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation (MDL).
- October 2024: The sixth Philadelphia Roundup trial, Melissen v. Monsanto, is currently underway. Monsanto previously attempted to dismiss this case before it went to trial, but a judge ruled that it should be allowed to proceed.
- September 2024: A Pennsylvania jury ruled in favor of Monsanto in a recent Roundup lawsuit, finding that the plaintiff did not sufficiently connect their cancer diagnosis to Roundup exposure.
- August 2024: After several large Roundup verdicts over the past year, some victims are questioning if the settlement offers they've received are fair. The judge overseeing the Roundup MDL plans to review the settlement program later this month.
- July 2024: Bayer is lobbying Congress to pass a bill that would protect the company from lawsuits claiming glyphosate in Roundup causes cancer. The company has also attempted to change state laws in an effort to avoid losing more money as a result of litigation.
- June 2024: A Pennsylvania judge lowered a January 2024 jury verdict from $2.25 Billion to $400 Million. The victim's lawyers plan to appeal this decision and fight for the original verdict amount to be reinstated.
- May 2024: Another Monsanto trial is currently underway in St. Louis, Missouri. This lawsuit involves three women who claim their exposure to Roundup caused them to develop cancer.
- April 2024: In Missouri, a judge reduced a November 2023 verdict against Bayer from $1.5 Billion to $611 Million. While the original amount was deemed excessive, the three victims in this case are still set to receive substantial compensation for their injuries.
- March 2024: There have been two verdicts in favor of Bayer and one mistrial this month. At least one plaintiff is appealing the ruling against them, as evidence linking non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to Roundup was unable to be presented during their trial.
- February 2024: There are currently over 4,200 lawsuits involved in the Roundup class action or multidistrict litigation, with thousands of individual claims pending in state courts. As more victims come forward to seek justice, Bayer continues to appeal the verdicts against them and claim they’ve done nothing wrong.
- January 2024: Another multibillion-dollar verdict was awarded to a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patient who was diagnosed with cancer after being exposed to Roundup. This was the company’s first trial using a new toxicologist as an expert witness to discredit the link between Roundup and cancer.
- December 2023: After five back-to-back wins for Roundup victims, Bayer’s losing streak came to an end when a California jury ruled in favor of the company, claiming the link between Roundup and the illness wasn’t clear.
- November 2023: Bayer and Monsanto have announced that immigration status will not play a role in future Roundup settlements. A discrimination lawsuit was filed against the company by a farmer excluded from the Roundup settlement in 2020 because she was not a U.S. citizen.
- October 2023: Three juries awarded over $500 Million to multiple plaintiffs this month, marking the first successful verdicts for plaintiffs since 2019. Up until this point, the courts had not ruled in favor of a Roundup victim since 2019.
Our team will continue to provide regular updates on the Roundup lawsuit as they become available.

Past Roundup Lawsuit Settlements & Verdicts
Bayer has been ordered to pay workers with cancer and their loved ones through both Roundup lawsuit settlements and verdicts:
- Roundup Settlements: If both parties agree upon a specific payout amount, the case may result in a settlement payout. With a settlement, victims often receive compensation faster and may never have to step foot in court. Bayer has paid nearly $11 Billion in Roundup settlements for thousands of claims.
- Roundup Verdicts: If a case goes to trial, a judge or jury will decide the outcome through a verdict. While verdicts may be worth more than a settlement, they can take longer and are considered riskier. So far, Bayer has paid over $6 Billion in verdicts.
At Sokolove Law, we’ve already recovered millions of dollars from Roundup settlements for clients across the country.
In one case, we secured $1.16 Million for a New York man who was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma after using Roundup products on his crops.

Roundup settlement amounts may range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars — and, in some cases, millions.
Latest Roundup Settlement News & Payouts
Billions of dollars in Roundup settlements and verdicts have been paid to multiple cancer victims and their families across the country.
Recent Roundup payouts include:
- October 2024: A man was awarded $78 Million after a Pennsylvania jury ruled that his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was caused by Roundup use between 1992 and 2020.
- February 2024: A Philadelphia judge ordered Bayer to pay an additional $2.3 Million to a man who was awarded $175 Million in October, citing delayed damages after Bayer's request for a new trial was denied.
- January 2024: A lawsuit against Bayer resulted in a $2.25 Billion verdict for a 45-year-old man in Pennsylvania, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after nearly 20 years of using Roundup on his property. This was the largest verdict against Bayer yet, though the company claims the amount is “unconstitutionally excessive.”
- December 2023: In Philadelphia, a woman was awarded $3.46 Million after she claimed her exposure to Roundup caused her to develop cancer. Approximately $3 Million of this verdict was in punitive damages, which are used as a means of punishing the defendant for their negligence.
- November 2023: A jury in Missouri awarded a $1.5 Billion Roundup verdict to three plaintiffs with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from exposure to Roundup. One of the victim’s wives was awarded $100,000 for the harm she suffered due to her husband’s illness.
- October 2023: A St. Louis jury awarded $125 Million to a Roundup user with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, followed by a $175 Million verdict in favor of an 83-year-old Roundup victim in Philadelphia. On the last day of the month, a California jury awarded $332 Million to a former land surveyor with cancer. The decisions throughout this month marked the end of Bayer’s winning streak.
- June 2020: Bayer agreed to pay around $11 Billion to settle thousands of Roundup lawsuits. The company set aside $2 Billion of this money for future Roundup cancer victims. However, judges believe this amount is far too low to properly compensate the potential number of future claimants.
Remember, if you became sick after using Roundup, you only have a limited time to pursue a Monsanto lawsuit payout.
For over 45 years, Sokolove Law has helped families hold powerful corporations accountable for the harm they’ve caused. Our Roundup lawsuit attorneys have the resources to fight for the most compensation possible in your case.

What Determines Roundup Settlement Amounts?
Roundup settlement amounts may be determined by many factors, including:
- The extent of your exposure to Roundup products
- The severity of your cancer diagnosis
- Any current and future medical bills related to your illness
- Whether your case settles or goes to a trial in court
While there’s never a guarantee of compensation in any case, our Roundup attorneys will take all of these factors and more into account to maximize the settlement you may receive.
Roundup Class Action Lawsuits vs. Individual Claims
Over 4,300 claims filed against Bayer and Monsanto have been consolidated into a Roundup class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation, while an additional 50,000+ individual claims are currently pending in state courts.
Through a Roundup class action lawsuit, one person represents a whole group of people affected by the same problem. If the representative wins, everybody in the class action receives compensation.
On the other hand, you may be able to secure more money from an individual Roundup lawsuit settlement or trial verdict than from a class action lawsuit.
Individual lawsuits aren’t filed by a group and allow your case to get the personal attention it deserves.

Dangers of Roundup: What Products Contain Glyphosate?
Despite safety concerns, Roundup remains the most commonly used herbicide in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This widespread use raises significant concerns about the dangers associated with glyphosate exposure.
Roundup products containing glyphosate are typically sold as ready-to-use mixes or concentrates. The concentrate contains higher levels of glyphosate than pre-mixed products.
Glyphosate-based products sold by Roundup include:
- Roundup Concentrate Non-Selective Herbicide
- Roundup Ready-to-Use Grass and Weed Control Non-Selective Herbicide
- Roundup Super Concentrate Weed Killer
Concentrated Roundup may put users at greater risk since they may also be exposed to glyphosate during mixing. The majority of concentrate users include industrial and agriculture workers like farmers, groundskeepers, and city employees.
Where Is Roundup Used?
Understanding where and how Roundup is used is essential to determining who may be at risk of Roundup-related cancers.
Roundup products are marketed for three uses:
- Agricultural: Roundup is commonly sprayed on and around farmland to prevent weeds from interfering with crops.
- Industrial, Turf, and Ornamental: Golf courses, sports fields, roadsides, nurseries, city parks, and other landscaped areas may be treated with Roundup.
- Residential: Some gardeners and homeowners may use Roundup to maintain their plants and lawns.
Approximately 26 million pounds of glyphosate-containing Roundup is sprayed in public areas like playgrounds, gardens, and school lawns every year, according to Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG).
In July 2021, Bayer announced that the company intends to remove glyphosate from the residential lawn and garden marketplace as of January 2023. Over 90% of the Roundup lawsuits Bayer has faced over the last few years come from the U.S. residential lawn and garden market.
Professional and agricultural users like farmers and retailers, however, are still able to purchase glyphosate for weed control.

What are the "Monsanto Papers?"
The Monsanto papers are company documents and records that were made public as a part of the recent Roundup lymphoma lawsuits.
These internal documents revealed a web of deceit surrounding Monsanto’s use of “scientific” knowledge claiming Roundup was safe.
The documents revealed that Monsanto:
- Ghostwrote articles claiming its products were safe for publication in toxicology journals and other forms of media
- Established a supposedly independent academic website to discredit allegations against the company
- Tried to build a network of scientists who would work “directly or indirectly/behind the scenes” to promote the safety of glyphosate as far back as 1999
To this day, Monsanto continues to deny that Roundup causes cancer to this day. However, controversy over the safety of Roundup has continued to grow following the release of these papers.
How many Roundup cancer claims have been filed so far?
As of November 2024, there have been approximately 170,000 Roundup cancer claims filed against Monsanto and Bayer.
There’s still time to file a Monsanto lawsuit for Roundup cancer. Call (800) 995-1212 now to see if we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Has anyone won a lawsuit against Roundup?
Yes. More than 100,000 lawsuits against Roundup manufacturers Monsanto and Bayer settled for nearly $11 Billion, and multiple other victims have successfully won trial verdicts in the past few years.
At Sokolove Law, we’ve already secured millions from lawsuits against Roundup. See if you have a case now.
Why should I file a Roundup cancer lawsuit against Monsanto?

Through a Roundup lawsuit, you may be able to:
- Hold Monsanto and Bayer accountable for poisoning you
- Shine a light for other victims and encourage them to take action
- Receive financial compensation
You never deserved to develop cancer from a product that was marketed as safe. With a Roundup weed killer lawsuit, you can seek justice from Monsanto and Bayer for the illness they may have caused.
Has Roundup been banned or recalled?
No. Despite mounting concerns about the product’s safety, Roundup is still available for purchase throughout the United States as of November 2024.
Does Roundup still contain glyphosate?
Commercial Roundup products still contain glyphosate, but the company committed to removing the chemical from residential Roundup products by January 2023.
In July 2021, Bayer announced their intention to remove glyphosate from residential products because over 90% of the Roundup lawsuits faced by the company came from the U.S. residential lawn and garden market.
