Two For Two with 11,000 on Deck - Glyphosate Getting Clobbered

Federal jury’s decision in case of man who said he used Roundup (key ingredient: glyphosate) for decades will likely affect thousands of other plaintiffs

A federal jury in San Francisco found Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide was a substantial factor in causing the cancer of a California man, in a landmark verdict that could affect hundreds of other cases.













Edwin Hardeman of Santa Rosa was the first person to challenge Monsanto’s Roundup in a federal trial and alleged that his exposure to Roundup caused him to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), a cancer that affects the immune system.

In the next phase of the case, the jury will weigh liability and damages, and Hardeman’s lawyers will present arguments about Monsanto’s influence on government regulators and cancer research.

During the trial, the 70-year-old Santa Rosa man testified that he had sprayed the herbicide for nearly three decades and at one time got it on his skin before he was diagnosed with cancer. He used the chemical to control weeds and poison oak on his properties, starting in 1986.

  2. Hydroceles, for the most part, are harmless to the testicles. They are normally painless and go away on their own. In any event, if you have scrotal swelling, consult your doctor to rule out other causes of Hydroceles, such as testicular tumours.
