Third U.S. jury finds Roundup weed killer caused cancer, awarding California couple $2 billion.
In a bombshell verdict, a couple in California have been awarded more than $2 billion in punitive damages in their civil case against Monsanto, after accusing the maker of Roundup weed killer of causing their cancer.
This is the third verdict against Monsanto in Roundup cases and the biggest so far. The company is facing thousands of lawsuits. Hardeman's lawyers said the elderly man developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after using Roundup to spray his properties for almost three decades.
