A unanimous decision in a Californian court find the weed killer caused a 70-year-old man to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after he used it for nearly 30 years on his property.

A jury has found Roundup caused 70-year-old Edwin Hardeman's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

"We are confident the evidence in phase two will show that Monsanto's conduct has been appropriate and the company should not be liable for Mr Hardeman's cancer." "Both authorities reaffirmed that glyphosate is safe to use and presents no risk to users when used in accordance with label instructions," Nufarm said in its financial results report.
