The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared in July 2015 that glyphosate herbicides are “probably carcinogenic” to humans [1]. The Monsanto Company, which developed glyphosate in the 1970s for use in its Roundup weed killer, currently faces more than 4,000 lawsuits alleging the herbicide caused cancer.

Monsanto Ordered to Pay $289 Million in Landmark Glyphosate Cancer Trial
A California jury in August 2018 found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who claimed the company’s Roundup and other glyphosate weed killers caused his cancer [2], and ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages. Experts saw the verdict as a litmus test to gauge how future juries are likely to react to the upcoming litigation, as Monsanto still faces approximately 4,000 similar lawsuits alleging Roundup caused cancer.
According to the lawsuit, Plaintiff Dewayne "Lee" Johnson sprayed hundreds of gallons of RoundUp and Ranger Pro herbicide over the course of his career as a school groundskeeper in Benicia, California. On at least 1 occasion, a sprayer he was using broke and he became soaked in Ranger Pro.
In 2014 at the age of 42, Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which he claimed was caused by the use of RoundUp and Ranger Pro. Johnson was given a terminal diagnosis in 2017, with his doctor stating that he would only live another 6 months. As a result of his diagnosis, Johnson's trial was expedited.
