New York Roundup Injury Lawyers

Spraying Monsanto Roundup

Roundup weedkiller is one of the most commonly used pesticides in the world. It’s also been sprayed across yards, parks, and playgrounds in New York City for decades. Now studies show that Roundup might cause serious health issues, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

There’s also evidence to suggest that Monsanto knew this, but didn’t warn consumers. In fact, Monsanto might have even actively suppressed this information, conspired with the EPA, and even paid to alter scientific studies.

Why Are People Filing Roundup Injury Lawsuits?

More than 300 million pounds of Roundup product are sprayed on crops, fields, and parks around the world every year. For decades, Monsanto claimed that the pesticide was perfectly safe. It was no more dangerous than any other pesticide, they said. However, several scientific studies indicate that this isn’t true. 

Various studies have found that exposure to Roundup weedkiller is associated with several adverse health issues, including:

  • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
  • Other types of cancer
  • Heart attacks
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Liver disease
  • Autism
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Asthma
  • Dementia
  • Infertility
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, and more.

In fact, glyphosate – the active ingredient in Roundup – has been classified as “probably carcinogenic” in humans by the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization.

Despite dozens of studies linking glyphosate to cancer and other health issues, Monsanto continues to refuse to admit that its pesticide is dangerous. Instead, the company has doubled-down and insists that Roundup is as safe as ever.

These studies have prompted thousands of people across the United States to file product liability lawsuits against Bayer, the company that recently purchased Monsanto and Roundup. 

As of September 2019, three Monsanto Roundup injury lawsuits have gone to trial. In all three, California juries awarded millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages to injured Roundup users. The most recent case yielded more than $2 Billion for a husband and wife who were both diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup for years.

Lawsuits Against Monsanto Claim Roundup Is Defective, Company Failed to Disclose Risks

When a company sells or markets a product in New York, it’s required to make sure that those products are safe for consumers to use. If a company knows about any potential health risks or dangers, that information must be disclosed. Failing to warn consumers can result in liability under New York state law.

Among other things, plaintiffs who have filed Roundup injury lawsuits have claimed:

  • Roundup weed killer is defective and unreasonably dangerous
  • Monsanto/Bayer failed to warn consumers about known health risks associated with exposure to glyphosate and Roundup, and
  • Monsanto/Bayer intentionally deceived the public about the dangers of Roundup.

When a company like Monsanto doesn’t warn you about potential risks in using a product, they’re stripping away your right to make informed decisions about the products you use. That’s the basis for Roundup lawsuits. Monsanto/Bayer misled you and, as a result, you’ve suffered severe, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening injuries.

You May Deserve Compensation If You’ve Been Harmed Because of Roundup Weed Killer

Monsanto/Bayer can be held strictly liable for harm caused by defects in its products. If you file a product liability lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills and expenses
  • Lost wages and income
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Disability
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium
  • Emotional distress, and more.

That’s why our NYC personal injury lawyers have spent more than four decades cultivating relationships with some of the best injury experts in the tri-state area. When we build your case, they can provide valuable insight about your injuries and, ultimately, what your case is worth. This comprehensive approach can help us secure maximum compensation on your behalf.

Signs of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

The IARC says that exposure to glyphosate may cause cancer. Other studies have also come to similar conclusions. Among other things, these studies determined:

  • The risk of cancer increases the longer you’re exposed to glyphosate.
  • The risk of cancer increases when glyphosate is mixed with other chemicals and substances, including those used in Roundup
  • Exposure to glyphosate doubles the risk of getting cancer within ten years.

In other words, many scientists agree that the risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma increases if you use or are exposed to glyphosate.

Signs and symptoms of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma include:

  • Weight loss
  • Enlarged lymph nodes
  • Swollen abdomen
  • Loss of appetite
  • Chest pain
  • Fatigue
  • Infections, and
  • Personality changes.

Seek medical attention if you recognize any of these signs of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Prompt medical care may be critical in fighting your illness and minimizing the potential consequences of your Roundup injury.
