“Roundup” – Is it Ready for Another Trial?…The Monsanto Herbicide Cases

Discussion on the multi-million jury awards to those who developed Non-Hodgkins lymphoma where causal evidence suggests that the regular use of the herbicide “Roundup” caused these victims to develop the fatal disease.

A nightmare for those given the devastating diagnosis, and a public relations nightmare for the company as well.
