Bayer Proposes $10 Billion Settlement For Three Chemical Lawsuits
“Bayer recently announced its intent to settle all Roundup, dicamba drift and Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) water litigation cases between $10.1 and $10.9 billion. The company says this settlement is not an admission of fault, but rather a cost-effective way to end the ‘distraction,’ reports Sonja Begemann in AG Web’s Business.
“The decision to resolve these cases was driven by our desire to bring greater certainty to the farmers we serve every day,” says Liam Condon, Bayer president of the crop science division.”
“These, and all our products, bring to growers and other users around the world the ability to help them economically and sustainably produce a healthy crop.”
