Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia Roundup Lawsuit Overview

It is unknown if Roundup can cause large granular lymphocytic leukemia. Roundup, a popular herbicide since the 1970s, has been linked to various types of leukemia, including hairy cell leukemia [1]. 

Roundup lawsuits primarily focus on allegations that the herbicide’s active ingredient, glyphosate, causes various types of cancer, including large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL).

Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Bayer, the manufacturer of Roundup, claiming the company failed to warn users about the potential cancer risks.

The litigation involves significant FDA concerns and ongoing scientific research exploring the connection between Roundup exposure and blood cancers.

Latest Roundup Lawsuit Updates

  • March 22, 2025 – A Georgia jury ordered Bayer to pay about $2.1 billion to a man who claimed Roundup weed killer caused his cancer. The verdict included $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages. Bayer announced plans to appeal the decision, calling the award excessive and inconsistent with scientific evidence [2].
  • March 2, 2025 – Following the $2 billion Georgia jury verdict, Bayer’s shares fell by more than 8%. The financial markets reacted strongly, reflecting investor concerns over ongoing litigation and the company’s future legal liabilities related to Roundup [3].

EPA and FDA Oversight and Statistics

The EPA continues to oversee glyphosate safety, while the FDA monitors glyphosate residues in food, with no direct FDA tracking of adverse events linked to Roundup exposure. Key statistics include:

  • Thousands of lawsuits claim non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and some related blood cancers are potentially connected to Roundup exposure, though not officially reported to the FDA
  • Ongoing independent research explores connections between glyphosate exposure and white blood cell abnormalities, including those linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Some studies suggest glyphosate exposure may indirectly affect red blood cells via non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma-related anemia, though direct links to anemia or other blood-related issues remain limited

Roundup Injuries & Side Effects

Roundup exposure has been associated with several serious health conditions:

  • Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia: A rare, chronic blood cancer affecting white blood cells, particularly T cells
  • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, including subtypes like Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)
  • Autoimmune Disorders: Potential increased risk of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis
  • Blood Cell Abnormalities: Possible impacts on both white and red blood cells

“Roundup is a potential risk factor for large B cell lymphoma, but more research is needed to confirm this link.” -The American Cancer Society

FAQs

1. How do I know if my leukemia is related to Roundup exposure?

A medical professional can evaluate your condition and exposure history. Factors such as the frequency and duration of Roundup use, protective measures taken, and your medical history will be considered when establishing a potential connection.

2. What is large granular lymphocytic leukemia?

Large granular lymphocytic leukemia is a rare, chronic blood cancer that affects white blood cells, including T cells, and is typically diagnosed in individuals over 60. It is characterized by large granular lymphocytic leukemia cells in the blood and bone marrow. Chronic leukemia is characterized by large granular lymphocytic leukemia cells in the blood and bone marrow. It is a type of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) caused by an accumulation of abnormal cells called a lymphocyte. 

It is possible for individuals with LGL to not experience any symptoms for several years. To diagnose LGL, healthcare providers typically use a combination of blood examinations under a microscope, bone marrow aspiration or biopsy, and flow cytometry. In some cases, peripheral T-cell lymphomas may also be considered during the diagnostic process

3. How is Roundup linked to blood cancers?

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, has been linked to an increased risk of white blood cell abnormalities. Research indicates that glyphosate exposure may affect blood cells, potentially leading to various blood-related conditions including leukemia.

4. Has Bayer admitted liability for Roundup-related cancers?

While Bayer has agreed to substantial settlements, the company continues to maintain that Roundup does not cause cancer when used as directed and has not admitted liability in the settlement agreements.
