Roundup Lawsuits

Securing Compensation for Clients in Albuquerque

Have you or loved one been exposed to Monsanto’s Roundup® weed killer and then developed a serious or deadly health condition? If so, you might be entitled to financial compensation for the harm you suffered.

Recently, a man was awarded $289 million in damages after a court ruled that Monsanto products caused him to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the ruling, the judge said that Monsanto failed to warn consumers about the dangerous risks associated with the use of Roundup and Ranger Pro weed killers.

Roundup Injuries & Side Effects

Roundup® contains glyphosate, a chemical that has been linked to various forms of cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), exposure to glyphosate can cause a person to develop the following types of cancer:

• Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
• B-Cell or T-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
• Follicular Lymphoma
• Hairy Cell Leukemia
• Mantle Cell Lymphoma

In addition to the WHO, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment both list glyphosate as a chemical known to cause cancer. Unfortunately, Monsanto never shared this information with the public and instead promoted Roundup as being non-toxic to humans, pets, birds, and fish. In fact, the company claimed the product was just as safe as table salt.

Occupations that are most at risk for developing a health condition from glyphosate exposure include:

• Nursery Workers
• Farmers
• Landscapers
• Garden Center Employees
• Grounds Keepers
