A judge in Pennsylvania has significantly reduced Bayer's $2.25 billion Roundup weedkiller verdict to $400 million, with compensatory damages lowered to $50 million and punitive damages to $350 million. The original award was for a man who developed cancer from using Roundup. Bayer plans to continue appealing the decision, arguing for U.S. legislative reform. The company has faced numerous Roundup-related lawsuits, with about 165,000 claims in the U.S., resulting in significant financial losses.
