The US Court has ordered global chemical and agriculture company, Monsanto, to pay $289 million to former school gardener dying of cancer.
The jury determined popular weed killer, Roundup, was a major cause for his disease.
This is the first lawsuit to go to trial amongst hundreds on file, accusing Roundup of causing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Monsanto denies a link between the core ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, and cancer, claiming countless studies affirm that glyphosate is safe.
