Settlements · $10B+ Bayer / Monsanto — Roundup & Glyphosate

After acquiring Monsanto in 2018, Bayer inherited more than 100,000 lawsuits alleging the glyphosate weedkiller Roundup caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The company's liability has exceeded $10 billion, with nearly $11 billion paid to claimants and a proposed $7.25 billion class settlement advancing in 2026. The WHO's cancer agency classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic" in 2015; the company maintains it is safe and has not admitted liability.
