Rascal Weed Killer Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

Rascal Weed Killer Lawsuit Overview

Lawsuits against Winfield Solutions, LLC, the manufacturer of Rascal® Plus Herbicide, allege that exposure to the product’s main ingredient, glyphosate, causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including subtypes like B-cell lymphoma, as well as leukemia, multiple myeloma, and other health issues such as DNA damage and endocrine disruption. The litigation follows the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A) in March 2015, based on limited human evidence, sufficient animal evidence, and strong genotoxicity data. A 2019 meta-analysis found a 41% increased risk of NHL in individuals with high glyphosate exposure (meta-RR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.13–1.75), supporting IARC’s findings [1].
