This class action litigation asserts that the active ingredient in Roundup products, glyphosate, is a human carcinogen that has been associated with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The claim alleges that the defendants knew or ought to have known that Significant Exposure to Roundup products can cause cancer; but the defendants distributed and/or sold Roundup products nonetheless and failed to warn users and the public about those cancer risks.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a rare blood cancer that starts in the body’s immune system. Numerous reports have linked this cancer to glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp. Numerous reports also link it to chromosomal and DNA damage in cells, as well as other types of blood-related cancers.
A review by the University of Washington found that agricultural professionals exposed to glyphosate have a 41% higher risk of contracting Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma than those with low or no exposure. It is getting harder and harder for Bayer to claim that this product is “perfectly safe” and does not cause cancer. There is overwhelming proof that it does.
Merchant Law Group, LLP and our representative plaintiffs have been leading the way in Canadian litigation, in terms of pursuing compensation for victims of RoundUp-related Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
According to The Wall Street Journal, approximately 9,300 home gardeners, landscapers, farmers, and farm workers in the United States have sued Bayer on the grounds that RoundUp is a carcinogenic product that they’ve knowingly continued to release to the public. Monsanto failed to label RoundUp with the appropriate warnings. They failed to provide instructions on how handle this hazardous product.

Recours Collectif Round-Up
Le lymphome non hodgkinien est un cancer du sang rare qui prend naissance dans le système immunitaire de l’organisme. De nombreux rapports ont établi un lien entre ce cancer et le glyphosate, l’ingrédient actif du RoundUp.
Un recours collectif contre Monsanto désormais possession de Bayer, concernant les allégations selon lesquelles leur produit herbicide RoundUp® pourrait causer le lymphome non hodgkinien.
Dewayne Johnson, atteint d’un lymphome non hodgkinien, a poursuivi Mosanto lors d’un procès aux États-Unis. La décision du jury fut que la société Bayer était responsable du cancer de M. Johnson. Il était en phase terminale et le jury lui accorda 289 millions de dollars de dommages et intérêts.
Selon le Wall Street Journal, environ 9 300 jardiniers amateurs, paysagistes, agriculteurs et ouvriers agricoles des États-Unis ont poursuivi Bayer au motif que le Roundup était cancérogène.
Merchant Law Group LLP est un cabinet spécialisé en action collectif basé à Montréal.
Des poursuites aux États-Unis allèguent que dès les années 1980, Monsanto (désormais détenue par Bayer dans une fusion de 66 milliards de dollars) était au courant des propriétés cancérogènes du glyphosate. Le glyphosate est un ingrédient actif de RoundUp®. Le 10 août 2018, un jury de San Francisco a ordonné au géant chimique Monsanto de verser 289 millions de dollars à un jardinier d’école souffrant d’un cancer en phase terminale après avoir utilisé Roundup® l’un des désherbants les plus populaires au monde.
Déjà des jurés aux États-Unis se sont prononcés en faveur de M. Johnson. Dans cette affaire, le jury américain avait conclu que Monsanto avait agi avec malveillance et par négligence pour ne pas avoir averti M. Johnson des risques de cancer dont Monsanto était au courant et qui étaient liés au Roundup et plus particulièrement à son ingrédient clé, le glyphosate.
Ce recours collectif allége que le RoundUp® et/ou le glyphosate sont défectueux, dangereux pour la santé humaine, impropres à être commercialisés et vendus ni n’ont été accompagnés des avertissements et des instructions appropriés concernant les dangers associés à son utilisation en particulier aux citoyens du Québec.
