$7.25B Settlement Proposed·4,000+ people have filed

Used Roundup in your yard or on the job? It's been linked to cancer — and Bayer has already paid billions.

The world's most popular weedkiller. On every shelf at every hardware store. And it may cause cancer.

vs. Bayer (formerly Monsanto)

The story

Roundup was everywhere. Homeowners sprayed it on their driveways. Landscapers used it daily.

Farmers doused entire fields in it. Monsanto told everyone it was perfectly safe — 'safer than table salt,' their ads claimed. Then, in 2015, the World Health Organization's cancer research agency classified glyphosate as 'probably carcinogenic to humans.' Studies showed regular exposure significantly increased the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a blood cancer.

In 2018, a school groundskeeper named Dewayne Johnson became the first to take Monsanto to trial. He had terminal cancer and had used Roundup extensively at work. The jury awarded him $289 million — and found that Monsanto had acted with 'malice.' More verdicts followed.

Bayer, which had acquired Monsanto, eventually agreed to pay over $10 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims. But the litigation isn't over — new cases continue to be filed by people who used Roundup and developed cancer.

“Landscapers, farmers, and homeowners describe using Roundup for years without gloves or protection because they were told it was safe. Many were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.”

People are asking

I only used Roundup at home, not professionally. Do I still qualify?

Yes. You don't have to be a farmer or landscaper. Regular home use — spraying your yard, driveway, or garden — counts if you did it consistently over time and developed cancer.

Didn't Bayer already settle everything?

Bayer settled tens of thousands of older claims for $10B+, and in February 2026 proposed a new $7.25 billion class action settlement for remaining claims. If you were recently diagnosed, you may still have a claim — talk to an attorney about whether the new settlement covers you.

Is Roundup still being sold?

Yes. Bayer stopped selling glyphosate-based Roundup for residential use in the US in 2023, but commercial/agricultural versions are still available, and many people have decades of past exposure.
