Roundup Lawyer

A Roundup lawsuit demands compensation for injuries caused by this dangerous household herbicide. Those who use this product and were late diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have the right to file a claim for damages.

Roundup® is a popular herbicide sold at retail locations across the United States. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto, the company that makes and sells Roundup® because usage has been tied to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The active ingredient in Roundup® is glyphosate which is used to kill weeds and was first introduced as an herbicide in the 1970s. Glyphosate was the most used herbicide in the United States in 2007.

If you have used Roundup® and suffered harm, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Our dangerous devices lawyers can help you demand justice.

According to a 2001 study, a person who uses Roundup® for more than 10 hours over more than 2 days in a year can double their risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Another study from 2008 found that a person who uses Roundup® for 10 or more days in a year can potentially double their risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. These studies indicate that even people who use Roundup® around their home may have been exposed to enough for it to affect their cancer diagnosis.
