Types of Cancer That May Qualify for a Roundup Lawsuit in 2025

Roundup Cancer Lawsuit Overview

With thousands of successful legal actions against Monsanto/Bayer, the number of different cancer types resulting from exposure to Roundup has grown significantly.

The lawsuits primarily allege that Roundup’s main ingredient, glyphosate, causes cancer, particularly Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Bayer has paid out compensation to tens of thousands of plaintiffs, with settlements ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Despite overwhelming evidence from thousands of legal cases, the EPA still lists glyphosate as not carcinogenic.

FDA Reports and Statistics

Studies have linked parental exposure to herbicides to brain tumors in children many years later [2].

According to scientific studies, individuals who regularly come in contact with weed killers like Roundup have a significantly higher risk of developing cancer [3].

One of the major problems with these weed killers is their extensive use in agriculture, private homes, and gardens, which has led to widespread exposure through multiple pathways.

The extensive use of glyphosate in agriculture and residential settings has created numerous exposure routes through the food chain.

Workers in specific industries have experienced the most extensive exposure, leading to thousands of reported cases of cancer linked to Roundup use.

Despite these findings, the Environmental Protection Agency still lists glyphosate as not carcinogenic to adults or children [4].

Roundup Injuries & Side Effects

Roundup exposure has been linked to several severe health conditions, primarily various forms of cancer.

• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Cancer affecting the lymphatic system, causing swollen lymph nodes throughout the body due to abnormal white blood cells buildup [5].
• Multiple Myeloma: Rare blood cancer causing abnormal white blood cells that multiply and create abnormal antibodies, weakening the immune system [6].
• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Most common form of leukemia in adults, starting with abnormal white blood cells developing in the bone marrow and slowly multiplying [7].
• Pediatric Brain Cancer: Studies have linked parental exposure to herbicides with brain tumors in children many years later.

Do You Qualify for a Roundup Lawsuit?

You may qualify for a Roundup lawsuit if:

• You were exposed to Roundup through professional or personal use
• You developed cancer, particularly Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, or your child developed brain cancer
• You can establish a connection between your Roundup exposure and cancer diagnosis
• You have medical documentation supporting your cancer diagnosis
• Your cancer required medical treatment or hospitalization

Individuals with the highest risk include agricultural workers, farmers, gardeners, landscapers, horticulturalists, lawn care workers, and greenkeepers. Regular exposure may also occur if Roundup was sprayed near your home or workplace.

Evidence Required for a Roundup Lawsuit

To pursue a successful claim, you will need:

• Medical records documenting your cancer diagnosis
• Evidence of Roundup use (receipts, purchase records)
• Documentation of the timeline between exposure and diagnosis
• Expert testimony linking your condition to glyphosate exposure
• Any communication with healthcare providers regarding potential causes

Damages You Can Recover

Successful Roundup lawsuits may provide compensation for:

• Medical expenses related to cancer treatment
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Punitive damages against Monsanto/Bayer

Roundup Recall Information

As of 2025, Bayer has not issued a complete recall of Roundup products containing glyphosate.

However, the company has announced plans to reformulate Roundup for the residential market to remove glyphosate while continuing to sell glyphosate-based Roundup products for agricultural use.

This decision comes after years of litigation and mounting evidence linking the product to cancer.

In 2019, Austria became the first European country to ban glyphosate, and several other countries have restricted its use.

Despite these international actions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maintains that glyphosate is not carcinogenic, contradicting the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Statute of Limitations for Roundup Lawsuits

The time limit to file a Roundup lawsuit varies by state, typically ranging from 1-6 years from either:

• The date of your cancer diagnosis
• The date you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) that Roundup may have caused your cancer

It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after diagnosis to ensure you don’t miss the deadline for filing your claim.

Some states have “discovery rules” that may extend the filing deadline if you couldn’t reasonably have known about the connection between Roundup and your illness earlier.

Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency still lists glyphosate as not carcinogenic to adults or children. This stance contradicts the World Health Organization’s classification of glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

6. What types of cancer are linked to Roundup exposure?

Roundup has been linked to several types of cancer, including Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Pediatric Brain Cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was the first type of cancer that had litigation success against Bayer, and most cases still focus on this disease.

7. How much compensation can I receive from a Roundup lawsuit?

Compensation varies based on the severity of your illness, medical expenses, lost wages, and other factors. Settlements have ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Some high-profile cases have resulted in significant verdicts, though individual results cannot be guaranteed.

8. Does Roundup cause cancer in children?

Recent evidence has linked parental exposure to herbicides with brain tumors in children years later. As stated by Carey Gillam, Author and Journalist at TheGuardian.com: “In children, pesticide exposure is linked not just to pediatric cancers but also to decreased cognitive function, and behavioral problems. In adults, pesticides are linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, brain, prostate and other cancers.”
