The Dangers of Roundup
Roundup is a popular herbicide that has been used commercially and domestically for decades. Glyphosate, the product’s active ingredient, blocks an enzyme that targeted weeds need to survive. Roundup has been used across the country on private property, in public parks and playgrounds, and in commercial nurseries. Perhaps the most troubling concern is that Roundup is sprayed on more than 80% of U.S. crops, from soybeans and wheat to corn and alfalfa. Even if you do not consume these crops, they could have been consumed by the livestock that you eat, passing the harm onto you and your family.
Though the World Health Organization only recently labeled glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen” in 2015, Monsanto may have known of the potential hazards for years and failed to disclose the information to consumers.
You are most likely to be affected by Roundup if you have been exposed to it regularly. That is why farmers, nursery workers, landscapers, and other agricultural workers are most susceptible to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Taking Legal Action against Monsanto
Monsanto is facing numerous allegations that it knew about the link between Roundup and cancer for several years and failed to warn the public about the issue. Because of Monsanto’s failure to disclose the information, countless people continued to purchase and use a harmful product containing a probable carcinogen.
Our Roundup injury attorneys in Manassas are dedicated to investigating the extent of Monsanto’s corporate cover-up. We want to know much the company knew about the potential cancer link before the public outcry. Lawyers have recently discovered evidence that both the EPA and Monsanto knew about the hazards and actively tried to downplay the cancer risk by creating reports “proving” that Roundup does not cause cancer. The EPA used these reports to support Monsanto’s claims, even though numerous EPA toxicologists still believed there was a link between cancer and Roundup.
There have been numerous lawsuits filed against Monsanto. If you developed cancer after being exposed to Roundup, you may be eligible to file a class-action lawsuit against the company and pursue the compensation you deserve. Compensation may cover your medical bills, your pain and suffering, and your lost wages among other damages.
