Roundup weed killer that is the subject of thousands of lawsuits in the US, is pictured on sale in Los Angeles, California on Sept.1, 2019.The justices on Tuesday left in place a $25 million judgment in favor of Edwin Hardeman, a California man who says he developed cancer from using Roundup for decades to treat poison oak, overgrowth and weeds on his San Francisco Bay Area property. Hardeman’s lawsuit had served as a test case for thousands of similar lawsuits.
At the same time, Bayer has won four consecutive trials in state court against people who claimed they got cancer from their use of Roundup.
