What are the alleged problems with Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer?

Roundup has an active ingredient called glysophate, which has been linked to some dangerous conditions dating back to 1972. Specifically, it was tied to diagnoses of lymphoma and leukemia. It was first linked to mice, and then later studies found a link in humans. If Roundup has a risk of causing these conditions, the consumer should know about it.

Does Monsanto know about these health risks?

Attorney Brown argues that Monsanto is aware of the link, as it dates back to 1972. This was the year of the IBT study, which it was later discovered involved scientists accused of fraud. A separate study in 1976 was found to cause tumors and cancers in mice. They attempted to “work” with the EPA in order to not be labeled a class 3 carcinogen, which the EPA allowed. Looking back at the history of this product starting with 1972, it certainly appears like Monsanto was aware of the product’s dangers. Bayer purchased Monsanto, and now they are defending these litigations.

Why is Roundup still available in stores? Is it safe now?

No, the active ingredient is still the same. There is still a cancer risk. California wanted to add a label to the product saying that there is a link to lymphoma and leukemia. The EPA resisted, saying that based on their information, they thought it was safe. One important thing to note: most juries who have heard these claims have issued verdicts that side with the victims.

Does cancer only result from long term exposure to Roundup?

Most cases involve long-term exposure. It depends on who is diagnosed as well: was is part of their job to use Roundup, or is it someone who used it around the house? Brown says that his firm is happy to investigate claims involving any level of Roundup exposure. Each case is different and requires a full investigation.
