A San Diego Superior Court jury awarded damages in a lawsuit filed by Mike Dennis, 57, of Carlsbad. He was diagnosed in 2020 with a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
His lawsuit contended that his illness was related to Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate.
Dennis had treatment and has been in remission for nearly three years but there is no cure, Adam Peavy, one of his attorneys, told KNSD-TV.
“His doctors have told him it’s going to come back and we’re just waiting to see if that happens,” Peavy said.
The jury found that Monsanto, which is now a division of pharmaceutical and biotechnology giant Bayer, failed to provide warnings of Roundup’s risks. But jurors also ruled partially in Bayer’s favour by finding the product design wasn’t defective and the company wasn’t negligent.
