DIAGNOSED WITH LYMPHOMA? WE CAN HELP
On May 13 this year, a California jury awarded a couple who had developed cancer — allegedly from using the herbicide Roundup — $55 million in damages and an additional $2 billion meant to “punish” Roundup manufacturer Monsanto and its parent company, Bayer. According to NPR, Alva and Alberta Pilliod had used Roundup to fight weeds on their property for decades, and, when they were diagnosed with cancer, they blamed glyphosate, which is an ingredient in the herbicide. Though the Environmental Protection Agency says glyphosate poses no risk to public health, the World Health Organization’s cancer agency says it’s “probably carcinogenic,” and the chemical is banned or restricted in more than two dozen countries, including Spain, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. As we see it, for nearly 30 years, Monsanto has manufactured, marketed, and sold Roundup while knowing the weed killer has strong links to cancer. Now, people like the Pilliods who are suffering from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or leukemia are taking action against Monsanto for intentionally lying to Americans for 30 years. So far, more than 13,000 people have filed lawsuits against the agriculture giant across the nation, and some have already won compensation. Timing is critical now because Bayer is appointing a settlement
committee to tackle potential claims.
If you’ve developed non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma or leukemia after exposure to Roundup or think you may be at risk, Peter Goldberg and Blair Weigand are here to help. Any agricultural professional or even residential homeowner who uses Roundup risks
developing cancer, and plant nursery supervisors, farm workers, garden center employees, and landscapers are in particular danger.
Goldberg & Weigand has been advocating for the working-class people of Massachusetts for over three decades, and those adversely affected by Roundup are no different.
