Roundup Weed Killer Linked to Cancer

Glyphosate, also known by the brand name Roundup, is the most used agricultural chemical in the world, acting as a weed killer. While this product has been around since the 1970’s, recent studies and health surveys focusing on glyphosate exposure – including research conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) – suggests that Roundup is a carcinogen linked to the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This information has brought about a number of lawsuits that claim that Monsanto, the company that created and sells Roundup, knowingly hid evidence of Roundup’s toxicity to protect their large profit from monopolizing the market for herbicide.

If you or someone you love has received a cancer diagnosis that you think could be linked to the use of Roundup, please call our Florida Roundup Herbicide Lawsuit Lawyers at Whittel & Melton today at 866-608-5529 or contact us online.

Who Uses Roundup?

Roundup is a common herbicide commonly used on vegetable and fruit crops as well as Glyphosate-resistant crops like canola, cotton, corn, sugar beets, soybeans, and wheat.

You may even have this herbicide somewhere in your home as this popular weed killer is also used in or on lawns, garden centers, greenhouses, nurseries, and even aquatic plants. You can buy Roundup at Target, The Home Depot, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Buikema’s Ace Hardware, Walmart, and other stores nationwide. Due to this, many people in addition to farmers make contact with Roundup, such as nursery or garden center employees, landscapers, groundskeepers, property owners who maintain their own lawns or plants, and anyone who consumes water or food that is tainted with Roundup.

What Happens if You are Exposed to Glyphosate?

You can be exposed to glyphosate by breathing it in, getting the product on your skin or in your eyes, or even consuming water or foods that have been treated with Roundup.

Exposure risk increases when a person fails to wash their hands after using Roundup and then eats or smokes. If exposure does occur, then irritation can occur to the skin, nose, eyes, and throat. Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

As of May 2022, Monsanto has reached settlement agreements in almost 100,000 Roundup lawsuits and paid victims approximately $11 billion.
