Bayer on June 24 agreed to pay as much as $10.9 billion to settle U.S. lawsuits claiming that its widely-used weedkiller Roundup caused cancer after more than a year of talks.
The German drugs and pesticides maker said it had come to terms with about 75% of the current Roundup plaintiffs, involving about 125,000 filed and unfiled claims overall. The settled cases account for about 95% of those currently set for trial, it added. “The Roundup settlement is the right action at the right time for Bayer to bring a long period of uncertainty to an end,” Chief Executive Werner Baumann said.
The company will make a payment of $8.8 billion to $9.6 billion to resolve the current Roundup litigation – including an allowance expected to cover unresolved claims. It will set aside a further $1.3 billion to support a separate class agreement to address potential future litigation. Bayer said it expected cash payments would not exceed $5 billion in 2020, and $5 billion in 2021. The company said it could cover the costs from existing liquidity, future cash flow, the proceeds of the sale of its Animal Health unit and additional bond issues.

Bayer To Pay More Than $10 Billion To Resolve Cancer Lawsuits Over Weedkiller RoundupRoundup's active ingredient is glyphosate, which thousands of plaintiffs blame for causing them to develop cancer. How about we dismantle companies that kill and maim us by the thousands rather than fine them a year's profits? Can you still buy that shit at Home Depot? It’s of my opinion that evidence of it causing cancer remains insufficient and the jury clearly chose “feelings” over facts.
