A Georgia jury has ordered Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, to pay nearly $2.1 billion in a lawsuit from a man who claims the Roundup weed killer caused his cancer. This verdict includes $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages, marking one of the largest settlements related to Roundup. Bayer plans to appeal the decision, which underscores ongoing legal disputes regarding the safety of Roundup and its key ingredient, glyphosate, amidst numerous lawsuits alleging it causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
