What Is the Roundup Weedkiller Cancer Settlement?
Bayer AG, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has been facing massive litigation over claims that the active ingredient in Roundup (glyphosate) causes cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. After losing several high-profile jury verdicts, Bayer agreed to settle.
Individual settlement amounts vary based on the severity of cancer diagnosis, age, and extent of Roundup exposure.
The case was brought as a class action, meaning a group of consumers with similar claims sued collectively. Rather than go to trial, the defendant agreed to settle. Class members — people who were affected by the alleged conduct — are eligible to file a claim and receive a share of the settlement fund.
Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?
- Must have been exposed to Roundup or glyphosate-based products
- Must have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or related cancer
- Must provide medical documentation of diagnosis
- Payouts tiered by severity: Tier 1 (severe) receives the highest amounts
Required documentation:
- Medical records confirming cancer diagnosis (specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma)
- Evidence of Roundup exposure (purchase records, employment records, declarations)
- Treatment history and ongoing medical expenses
How Much Can You Get?
Individual payouts are estimated at $5k–$200000k per person. The final amount each claimant receives depends on:
- The total number of valid claims filed
- Whether you have documentation supporting higher-tier compensation
- Attorney fees and administrative costs deducted from the fund
- Documented out-of-pocket losses (if applicable)
Filing is free and takes under 10 minutes. Even smaller payouts are worth claiming — there is no cost or risk to you.
