A court in Georgia has ruled that Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, must pay almost $2.1 billion in damages to a man who claims his cancer was caused by the Roundup weed killer. This decision is part of a series of legal battles Monsanto has faced over its Roundup herbicide. Bayer intends to appeal the verdict from the Georgia courtroom, including the $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages. The lawsuit was brought by John Barnes in 2021 due to his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma allegedly linked to Roundup. An attorney representing Barnes sees the verdict as a positive step towards his client's treatment and exposes the truth about the product's toxicity. Despite Bayer's denial, evidence presented in the case suggests long-standing misconduct and attempts to downplay risks associated with Roundup.
