Bayer Settles More U.S. Claims Over Weedkiller Roundup
“Bayer AG has settled thousands of U.S. Roundup weed killer lawsuits as part of an $11 billion settlement, reaching deals with the only lawyers who took cases to trial over allegations the herbicide caused cancer,” reports Tom Hals in Insurance Journal.
“In letters filed with U.S. District Court in San Francisco late on Monday, three lawyers said they had reached binding settlements.”
“The agreements covered 15,000 lawsuits, according to attorneys familiar with the talks, bringing the resolved cases to about 45,000. Bayer has estimated it faces 125,000 filed and un-filed claims over Roundup.”
