Roundup victims have a reason to celebrate as we enter the holiday season. The last two weeks of October haven’t been kind to Bayer, with courts across the country dealing massive blows to the biotech giant. Over the span of just two weeks, juries have awarded more than half a billion dollars in damages to Roundup cancer victims.
Here’s what you need to know.
On October 31, a jury in California sided with Roundup cancer victim Mike Dennis, who used the chemical on his lawns and gardens for over three decades. He was awarded a staggering $332 million–$7 million in compensatory damages and $325 million in punitive damages.
Philadelphia’s Roundup trial ended with a resounding verdict of $175 million against Bayer on October 27. It includes $25 million in compensatory damages and $150 million in punitive damages. Retired restaurant owner Ernest Caranci used Roundup for upwards of 20 years, believing there was no danger in exposure. Eventually, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
This was the first Roundup case to go to trial in Philadelphia, but it won’t be the last. Another case will be heard in November.
On October 20, a St. Louis jury awarded non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patient John Durnell $1.25 million. It found Bayer didn’t properly warn consumers about the potential risks of roundup weed killer exposure, particularly its active ingredient glyphosate.
This is only the beginning. Our movement will continue to build steam so Bayer has no choice but to hear our message loud and clear: The Many aren’t backing down. We will hold this corporation accountable so no one else has to fall victim to their negligence.
