We arelegal counsel for those suffering from cancer and are accepting new clients who would like to sue Monsanto Roundup.
Several lawsuits against the company claim it is aware that Roundup may cause cancer, as well as convincing farmers, governments as well as the public to believe that the product was safer. The primary ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate. It is an herbicide. It is used to eliminate weeds from any kind of crop, from corn to potatoes to soybeans, lentils, and soya beans.
In reality, it was recently deemed the most extensively employed agricultural chemical ever.
It’s so widespread that it is contaminating drinking water and women’s milk, blood, and urine. A study revealed that women from the U.S. had glyphosate levels whichare eight times more than the levels found in European women. In the meantime, the European Union has refused to accept Roundup’s usage, which is likely to lead to a total banning.
The Dutch government has recently voted to prohibit Roundup as well as all other herbicides containing glyphosate. France and Brazil are preparing to ban it too.
We don’t know how much glyphosate we have in our water or food since the USDA doesn’t have a test to determine it. We do know that Roundup is the most frequently used in non-organic food items. One study discovered glyphosate in more than 75 percent of the air and rain samples collected during the growing season.
In states that are more northern, where glyphosate is used, it is sprayed onto certain crops, such as barley and wheat, before harvest. Monsanto was involved in a number of amazing marketing campaigns for farmers to make them believe that Roundup is safe. Monsanto sales representatives would consume Roundup in demonstrations of the product to convince farmers that it wasn’t toxic.
Although it’s a clever technique, Roundup actually sets off cells in the body. These changes can require a long time to show up as cancer. Thus it is possible for a sales representative to consume Roundup and be good afterward. The damage will appear many years later as cancer, kidney disease, nerve damage, and infertility, among other deadly illnesses.

700 Lawsuits Pending
Monsanto has been at the top of the list for toxic pesticides and herbicide use in the late 1970s. Monsanto’s DDT was the most widely used pesticide in American agriculture until 1972, the year when research proved that it was poisonous and was removed from the market. There are more than 700 lawsuits involving non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma pending against Monsanto.
Monsanto was also the pioneer in the development and distribution of Agent Orange, which devastated American soldiers as well as the foreign population during the Vietnam War, causing cancer as well as nerve damage, and respiratory diseases.
Monsanto was aware that Roundup was carcinogenic since the time it first began selling the product in 1974. It has lobbied the EPA as well as a myriad of other agencies to reduce the dangers of Roundup. Monsanto’s labs that study Roundup have been repeatedly accused of fraud.
