A US jury on Tuesday found Bayer's glyphosate-based weed killer to be a "substantial factor" in causing a man's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, allowing the trial to proceed into a second phase on liability and damages.The jury in San Francisco federal court in a unanimous ruling found Roundup, one of the world's most widely-used weed killers, to be responsible for the cancer of California resident Edwin Hardeman. It was not yet a finding of liability against Bayer, however.
The case will proceed into a second trial phase before the same jury on Wednesday to determine Bayer's liability and potential damages. During that phase, Hardeman's lawyers can present evidence allegedly showing the company's efforts to influence scientists, regulators and the public about the safety of its products, which they were not allowed to in the initial phase.Bayer in a statement on Tuesday said it was disappointed with the jury's initial decision."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 case was a so-called bellwether trial intended to help determine the range of damages and define settlement options for the more than 760 Roundup cases consolidated in the federal court in San Francisco. Bayer denies allegations that Roundup, or glyphosate, cause cancer. It says decades of studies and regulatory evaluations, primarily of real-world human exposure data, have shown the weed killer to be safe for human use.
