Millions of people have been exposed to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® weed killer. If you or a loved one developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another related cancer after using Roundup, you may qualify for significant financial compensation.

The Johnson Law Firm is actively reviewing Roundup and glyphosate-related cancer cases nationwide – helping individuals understand their legal options and learn how manufacturers have been scrutinized for failing to adequately warn consumers about potential health risks.

Roundup Lawsuit Quick Facts

If you – or someone you love – used Roundup weed killer and were later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another related cancer, you may qualify for financial compensation through a Roundup lawsuit.

Glyphosate Exposure Sources: Occupational and residential exposure through spraying, landscaping, farming, or gardening. Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup®, has been linked to cancer and other serious health risks.
Health Risks & Cancer Link: The World Health Organization’s IARC classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Studies have found elevated rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma among agricultural and groundskeeping workers.
Latency Period: Cancer symptoms may appear years or even decades after repeated exposure, making early legal consultation critical for preserving your claim rights.
Corporate Accountability: Thousands of claims have been filed against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), alleging failure to warn consumers about glyphosate’s dangers.

What Is Roundup & Glyphosate Exposure?

Roundup is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, has been linked to serious health risks, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers. Glyphosate works by disrupting plant growth enzymes, but studies have shown that long-term exposure may also harm human cells and DNA. Because symptoms of related illnesses can take years to develop, many people do not realize the connection between their cancer and years of Roundup use until after diagnosis.

Glyphosate exposure occurs in agricultural, landscaping, and residential settings where Roundup is sprayed to control weeds. Farmers, groundskeepers, gardeners, and even homeowners using store-bought weed killers face potential risk. Research has raised major concerns about how frequent or prolonged contact – even at low levels – may increase the likelihood of developing cancer.

How a Roundup Lawsuit Works

When individuals are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another illness possibly associated with Roundup or glyphosate exposure, they often want to understand how the legal process functions and what steps are involved.

Scientific & Medical Recognition: Peer-reviewed studies and international health agencies – including the WHO’s IARC – have examined links between glyphosate exposure and certain cancers. This research has informed courts and regulators worldwide.
Litigation Consolidation: Roundup claims are typically organized through Multidistrict Litigation (MDL No. 2741) or in coordinated state proceedings to streamline expert testimony and discovery.
Causation Evidence: Our team gathers detailed records of your Roundup use – employment history, purchase receipts, photos, and medical documentation – along with expert toxicology and epidemiology testimony to link your diagnosis directly to glyphosate exposure.
Liability Theories:
Failure to Warn: Allegations that manufacturers knew or should have known of cancer risks yet failed to provide adequate warnings or instructions.
Design / Formulation Defect: Claims that Roundup’s formulation (including certain surfactants historically used with glyphosate) increased toxicity or failed to minimize foreseeable risks.
Negligent Marketing / Misrepresentation: Assertions that safety was overstated or risks were downplayed in advertising, labels, or training materials.
Post-Sale Duty to Warn (where applicable): Failure to update warnings as new risk information emerged.
Compensation: Recoverable damages may include medical bills and future care, lost income and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, wrongful-death damages for families, and – when the facts support it – punitive damages to punish and deter misconduct.
Settlement vs. Trial: Many Roundup claims resolve through negotiated settlements informed by bellwether results; others proceed to jury trial to maximize recovery or where liability/causation is contested. Appeals can follow either path.
Contingency-Fee Promise: No upfront fees. You owe nothing unless we obtain a recovery for you.

Results-Driven Representation: With decades of toxic-exposure and MDL experience, The Johnson Law Firm partners with top medical and scientific experts to build the strongest possible case for each Roundup client.

Roundup Lawsuit FAQs

The Roundup lawsuit involves claims that long-term exposure to glyphosate – the active ingredient in Roundup weed killer – may increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers. Plaintiffs allege that Monsanto (now Bayer) failed to adequately warn consumers about these risks.

Individuals who used or were regularly exposed to Roundup herbicide and were later diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or a related cancer may qualify for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on factors such as exposure history, medical documentation, and state time limits.

The majority of claims involve non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Some studies have also examined potential associations between glyphosate exposure and leukemia, multiple myeloma, and other lymphatic cancers. The strongest evidence and legal focus, however, remain on non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Yes. In 2020, Bayer AG announced plans to pay up to $10.9 billion to resolve tens of thousands of Roundup claims. Additional verdicts and appeals continue, and some new cases are still being reviewed in both federal MDL No. 2741 and state courts.

MDL No. 2741, formally known as In re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation, is a federal multidistrict litigation process that centralizes thousands of Roundup-related cases before one court for efficiency. Each case remains individual but benefits from shared evidence and coordinated proceedings.

Every state has a statute of limitations that limits how long you have to pursue a claim after diagnosis. Many states allow between two and five years, though the clock can vary depending on when you discovered the potential link between Roundup and your illness. A case review can help determine if your time frame remains open.

Compensation varies depending on medical expenses, lost income, severity of illness, and proof of exposure. Some Roundup verdicts have awarded substantial damages, but outcomes depend on individual circumstances. The Johnson Law Firm can review your case and explain what similar claims have achieved.

No. The Johnson Law Firm offers free and confidential Roundup case evaluations. Legal fees are handled on a contingency-fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is obtained on your behalf.

Not automatically. A case review is an initial evaluation designed to assess whether your medical history and exposure pattern may align with existing Roundup litigation criteria. Only after a separate engagement and authorization process would any attorney-client relationship be established.

You can begin by requesting a free Roundup case review. Our team will examine your medical information, exposure history, and diagnosis timeline to help determine whether you may qualify for further legal action.
