Types of Cancer Linked to Roundup
Despite Bayer’s repeated statements that Roundup and glyphosate don’t cause cancer, emerging research has continued to claim otherwise.
Exposure to glyphosate can increase the risk of certain cancers by as much as 41%, according to the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS).
The majority of Roundup cancer cases involve blood cancers that impact the production of white blood cells in the body.
Cancers that qualify for Roundup lawsuits may include:
- B-cell lymphoma
- Burkitt lymphoma
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Follicular lymphoma
- Hairy cell leukemia
- Lymphoblastic lymphoma
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- Marginal zone lymphoma
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Small lymphocytic lymphoma
- T-cell leukemia
- T-cell lymphoma
Around 85% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases are B-cell lymphomas, which develop when the genetic code of a lymphocyte is altered. Studies show glyphosate is associated with epigenotoxicity, meaning it may cause changes in genes.
After a cancer diagnosis, Roundup lawsuit compensation may be able to help pay for medical bills, lost wages from missed work, and other daily expenses.

Roundup Lawsuit Deadlines
Every state has Roundup lawsuit deadlines or statutes of limitations, which prevent people from taking legal action after a certain point. This makes it very important to contact a national Roundup law firm like Sokolove Law as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the Roundup lawsuit statute of limitations is between 1 and 3 years after your cancer diagnosis, the death of your loved one, or the date you learned about the connection between Roundup exposure and your illness.
Once the statute of limitations passes, you won’t be able to file a Roundup cancer claim again.
We can help you figure these deadlines out and file before it’s too late. Call (800) 995-1212 now, so you don’t miss out on the justice you deserve.

Past Roundup Lawsuit Settlements & Verdicts
Bayer has been ordered to pay workers with cancer and their loved ones through both Roundup lawsuit settlements and verdicts:
- Roundup Settlements: If both parties agree upon a specific payout amount, the case may result in a settlement payout. With a settlement, victims often receive compensation faster and may never have to step foot in court. Bayer has paid nearly $11 Billion in Roundup settlements for thousands of claims.
- Roundup Verdicts: If a case goes to trial, a judge or jury will decide the outcome through a verdict. While verdicts may be worth more than a settlement, they can take longer and are considered riskier. So far, Bayer has paid over $6 Billion in verdicts.
At Sokolove Law, we’ve already recovered millions of dollars from Roundup settlements for clients across the country.
In one case, we secured $1.16 Million for a New York man who was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma after using Roundup products on his crops.

Roundup settlement amounts may range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars — and, in some cases, millions.
Latest Roundup Settlement News & Payouts
Billions of dollars in Roundup settlements and verdicts have been paid to multiple cancer victims and their families across the country. Be sure to get all of the latest Roundup litigation updates, so you know where these cases stand and what they recently awarded.
Recent Roundup payouts include:
- October 2024: A man was awarded $78 Million after a Pennsylvania jury ruled that his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was caused by Roundup use between 1992 and 2020.
- February 2024: A Philadelphia judge ordered Bayer to pay an additional $2.3 Million to a man who was awarded $175 Million in October, citing delayed damages after Bayer's request for a new trial was denied.
- January 2024: A lawsuit against Bayer resulted in a $2.25 Billion verdict for a 45-year-old man in Pennsylvania, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after nearly 20 years of using Roundup on his property. This was the largest verdict against Bayer yet, though the company claims the amount is “unconstitutionally excessive.”
- December 2023: In Philadelphia, a woman was awarded $3.46 Million after she claimed her exposure to Roundup caused her to develop cancer. Approximately $3 Million of this verdict was in punitive damages, which are used as a means of punishing the defendant for their negligence.
- November 2023: A jury in Missouri awarded a $1.5 Billion Roundup verdict to three plaintiffs with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from exposure to Roundup. One of the victim’s wives was awarded $100,000 for the harm she suffered due to her husband’s illness.
- October 2023: A St. Louis jury awarded $125 Million to a Roundup user with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, followed by a $175 Million verdict in favor of an 83-year-old Roundup victim in Philadelphia. On the last day of the month, a California jury awarded $332 Million to a former land surveyor with cancer. The decisions throughout this month marked the end of Bayer’s winning streak.
- June 2020: Bayer agreed to pay around $11 Billion to settle thousands of Roundup lawsuits. The company set aside $2 Billion of this money for future Roundup cancer victims. However, judges believe this amount is far too low to properly compensate the potential number of future claimants.
For over 45 years, Sokolove Law has helped families hold powerful corporations accountable for the harm they’ve caused. Our Roundup lawsuit attorneys have the resources to fight for the most compensation possible in your case.
Get started now with a free case review. Let us put our decades of experience to work for you.
What Determines Roundup Settlement Amounts?
Roundup settlement amounts may be determined by many factors, including:
- The extent of your exposure to Roundup products
- The severity of your cancer diagnosis
- Any current and future medical bills related to your illness
- Whether your case settles or goes to a trial in court
While there’s never a guarantee of compensation in any case, our Roundup attorneys will take all of these factors and more into account to maximize the settlement you may receive.
Roundup Class Action Lawsuits vs. Individual Claims
Over 4,300 claims filed against Bayer and Monsanto have been consolidated into a Roundup class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation, while an additional 50,000+ individual claims are currently pending in state courts.
Through a Roundup class action lawsuit, one person represents a whole group of people affected by the same problem. If the representative wins, everybody in the class action receives compensation.
On the other hand, you may be able to secure more money from an individual Roundup lawsuit settlement or trial verdict than from a class action lawsuit.
Individual lawsuits aren’t filed by a group and allow your case to get the personal attention it deserves.

Dangers of Roundup: What Products Contain Glyphosate?
Despite safety concerns, Roundup remains the most commonly used herbicide in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This widespread use raises significant concerns about the dangers associated with glyphosate exposure.
Roundup products containing glyphosate are typically sold as ready-to-use mixes or concentrates. The concentrate contains higher levels of glyphosate than pre-mixed products.
Glyphosate-based products sold by Roundup include:
- Roundup Concentrate Non-Selective Herbicide
- Roundup Ready-to-Use Grass and Weed Control Non-Selective Herbicide
- Roundup Super Concentrate Weed Killer
Concentrated Roundup may put users at greater risk since they may also be exposed to glyphosate during mixing. The majority of concentrate users include industrial and agriculture workers like farmers, groundskeepers, and city employees.
Where Is Roundup Used?
Understanding where and how Roundup is used is essential to determining who may be at risk of Roundup-related cancers.
Roundup products are marketed for three uses:
- Agricultural: Roundup is commonly sprayed on and around farmland to prevent weeds from interfering with crops.
- Industrial, Turf, and Ornamental: Golf courses, sports fields, roadsides, nurseries, city parks, and other landscaped areas may be treated with Roundup.
- Residential: Some gardeners and homeowners may use Roundup to maintain their plants and lawns.
Approximately 26 million pounds of glyphosate-containing Roundup is sprayed in public areas like playgrounds, gardens, and school lawns every year, according to Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG).
In July 2021, Bayer announced that the company intends to remove glyphosate from the residential lawn and garden marketplace as of January 2023. Over 90% of the Roundup lawsuits Bayer has faced over the last few years come from the U.S. residential lawn and garden market.
Professional and agricultural users like farmers and retailers, however, are still able to purchase glyphosate for weed control.

What are the "Monsanto Papers?"
The Monsanto papers are company documents and records that were made public as a part of the recent Roundup lymphoma lawsuits.
These internal documents revealed a web of deceit surrounding Monsanto’s use of “scientific” knowledge claiming Roundup was safe.
The documents revealed that Monsanto:
- Ghostwrote articles claiming its products were safe for publication in toxicology journals and other forms of media
- Established a supposedly independent academic website to discredit allegations against the company
- Tried to build a network of scientists who would work “directly or indirectly/behind the scenes” to promote the safety of glyphosate as far back as 1999
To this day, Monsanto continues to deny that Roundup causes cancer to this day. However, controversy over the safety of Roundup has continued to grow following the release of these papers.
How many Roundup cancer claims have been filed so far?
As of December 2024, there have been approximately 170,000 Roundup cancer claims filed against Monsanto and Bayer.
There’s still time to file a Monsanto lawsuit for Roundup cancer. Call (800) 995-1212 now to see if we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Has anyone won a lawsuit against Roundup?
Yes. More than 100,000 lawsuits against Roundup manufacturers Monsanto and Bayer settled for nearly $11 Billion, and multiple other victims have successfully won trial verdicts in the past few years.

Through a Roundup lawsuit, you may be able to:

Has Roundup been banned or recalled?

Does Roundup still contain glyphosate?
Commercial Roundup products still contain glyphosate, but the company committed to removing the chemical from residential Roundup products by January 2023.
In July 2021, Bayer announced their intention to remove glyphosate from residential products because over 90% of the Roundup lawsuits faced by the company came from the U.S. residential lawn and garden market.
