Monterey Remuda Weed Killer Lawsuit Overview

Monterey Remuda Full Strength, a 41% glyphosate herbicide, has been linked to serious health concerns, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancer types. The lawsuits against the manufacturer allege failure to warn consumers about the potential carcinogenic risks associated with glyphosate exposure. These legal actions follow the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s classification of glyphosate-based herbicides as “probably carcinogenic” to humans [1].

July 9, 2024 – The EPA’s July 2024 update to the Remuda Pro label reflects tightened safety protocols—potentially relevant in assessing product compliance and risk disclosure amid ongoing lawsuits [2].

January 23, 2023 –  A new court filing related to Monterey’s Remuda herbicide has emerged, signaling formal legal action over alleged safety or labeling concerns tied to glyphosate exposure.

Cancer Risk Reports and Litigation

On March 20, 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate-based herbicides, including products like Monterey Remuda, as ‘probably carcinogenic to humans’ (Group 2A), with the monograph published July 29, 2015. Over 170,000 lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto/Bayer alleging that glyphosate-containing products, such as Roundup and potentially Monterey Remuda, caused cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The $289 million verdict against Monsanto in August 2018 (later reduced to $20.5 million) for causing cancer via Roundup has influenced subsequent glyphosate-related lawsuits, including potential claims involving products like Monterey Remuda.
