Bayer is facing 42,700 U.S. plaintiffs who blame its glyphosate-based weedkillers for their cancer, with analysts currently estimating the size of a future settlement at $8-$12 billion

. But the stock has lost about 30% in value since last August, when a California jury in the first such lawsuit found Monsanto should have warned of the alleged cancer risks associated with its glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup.

Bayer had earlier this month prepared investors for a surge in cases, saying the prospect of a settlement was fanning efforts by lawyers to recruit plaintiffs. “We have to get relatively close to finality, and that’s the subject matter that is at the centre of the structural discussions ,” he said.

Killing people has been no problem for these guys.

Exercise of impunity, never must be allowed, when the irresponsibility of corporations as Monsanto/Bayer and Boeing in evident terms, placed the importance of their profits as more important than the lives of human beings

From the company that has been accused of not warning patients of the damage that the fluoroquinolone antibiotic Ciprofloxacin could do.

Monsanto should have been taken down A LONG TIME AGO! This Company has been Protected by the US Government and They have made Billions regardless of the deaths that can be Scientifically proven and lain at there door.

24% of farms going down for bankruptcy.

to be honest with how roundup has entered the food chain the lawsuit should have billions of people. hey anti vaxxers, looking for the cause of autism?

Bayer = still great at killing people since the Holocaust.

and its a shame because the entirety of the claims is based on fraud.

And yet this poison is still on the shelf.

Looks like Bayer better plan a yard sale.

But GMOs are safe, right?

The real question is: if we could get the leadership of Bayer and Nestle in an arena together, who would......... we get to burn the arena down?

That's the issue with unregulated runaway capitalism right there.

It's so expensive to poison people for profit.
