Las Vegas, Nev. (August 17, 2018) — The law offices of Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys announced they will streamline their focus regarding Roundup case reviews for those claiming diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after prolonged exposure to the popular weedkiller. This decision came after more and more individuals and family members of deceased came forward to claim Roundup weed killer contributed too often severe side effects.
One such man, Dewayne Johnson, had prolonged exposure to Roundup during his tenure as a groundskeeper. After years of service, he received a diagnosed of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His diagnosis is believed to be linked to his high exposure levels to Roundup for a prolonged period of time.
Based on evidence and testimony presented during trial, a California jury agreed that Johnson’s now terminal cancer was the results of his exposure to Roundup. Jurors found Monsanto guilty of failing to warn about severe health hazard. As well as acting with malice, oppression or fraud. And, should therefore face punishment for its conduct (case no CGC-16-550128). As a result, product manufacturer Monsanto was then ordered to pay Johnson $289,000,000 in damages.
Glysophate – Dangerous or Harmless Like Monsanto Suggests?
Glysophate – the active ingredient most widely used in herbicides to include Roundup. Farmers, groundskeepers of public spaces and homeowners commonly use herbicides to control weeds.
Monsanto maintains that Roundup has a safe record of use for 40 years now when used as directed. Monsanto Vice President Scott Partridge released a statement in disagreement to the verdict. He said, “We will appeal this decision and continue to vigorously defend this product.”
Despite Monsanto’s stand, occupational exposure studies of glyphosate have shown a link between NHL and glysophate.
“I strongly encourage anyone who believes their long term exposure to Roundup contributed to an NHL diagnosis to seek out legal assistance. Consequently, you may be entitled to compensation. My Las Vegas and Chicago-based law firms offer free Roundup NHL case reviews,” said Glen Lerner, ESQ.
