Judge raises doubts ahead of hearing on Bayer’s $2 bln Roundup settlement deal
“A federal judge on Tuesday questioned a $2 billion proposal by Bayer AG (BAYGn.DE) that would create a framework for resolving future claims that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, casting doubt on the plan a day before a key hearing,” reports Tom Hals in Reuters.
“Bayer and class action attorneys hope U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco will give preliminary approval on Wednesday to create a class of people exposed to Roundup who could get sick in the future.”
