Roundup Lawsuit News:
What Victims Need to Know

Missouri class action granted preliminary approval — Northern District of California remains the central hub for most Roundup litigation. Our firm is accepting cases nationwide.

Roundup litigation is now one of the largest mass tort proceedings in U.S. history, unfolding for more than a decade and still going strong. The first major settlements began in 2020, when Bayer/Monsanto agreed to pay more than $10 billion to resolve approximately 100,000 claims brought by individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after Roundup exposure.
$11B+ Paid out by Bayer by 2025
$7.25B 2026 Missouri class settlement value
4,490+ Cases still pending in federal MDL
$2.1B Largest recent jury verdict (2024–25)

The Missouri Class Settlement

In February 2026, Bayer agreed to a major new nationwide class settlement filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri. This proposed settlement — valued at up to $7.25 billion — is designed to resolve current and future Roundup cancer claims, including individuals who have not yet filed lawsuits.

This settlement was recently preliminarily approved and is currently undergoing final judicial review. If finally approved, it will become the first nationwide class resolution for Roundup-related cancers.

  • Long-term compensation program funded over up to 21 years
  • Structured payouts for individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after Roundup exposure
  • Distinct categories for those exposed while on the job vs. at home for personal use
  • Future claimant mechanism for those who develop cancer later
  • Court oversight to ensure fairness and transparency

Latest Developments in the Federal MDL
(Northern District of California)

The federal Multidistrict Litigation — Case No. MDL-2741, overseen in the Northern District of California — remains active. As of late 2025, approximately 4,490 cases were still pending, with additional filings continuing into 2026.

  • Ongoing expert-witness challenges and evidentiary rulings
  • Coordination of remaining cases for potential bellwether trials
  • Continued pressure on Bayer as state-court verdicts mount
  • Integration of MDL plaintiffs into broader settlement discussions
