A trial scheduled to start later on this month against the agricultural business Monsanto has been postponed for another month in St. Louis, Missouri. The trial was one of over 40,000 cases that was scheduled to begin this year against Monsanto due to consumers obtaining cancer through the use of their weedkiller known as RoundUp.
The reason for the postponement is due to Bayer, the owner of Monsanto, looking to settle all of these cases as more negotiation is needed at this time. The strangest part about this delay is that it caused Bayer’s stock to actually increase over the past week by $3 over the past five days.
Why in the world would this stock continue to increase? The settlement would put a known number on how much the company would put a finite number on the cost of litigating all of these lawsuits. Also, people will buy Bayer aspirin no matter what may happen with Monsanto. Even though RoundUp has been scientifically proven to cause cancer, people are still buying the weedkiller because I guess that they want to contract cancer as well.
the monsanto board of directors and their legal team needs to go straight to hell
Don’t worry – their headquarters are in St. Louis.
RoundUp is sold in in Romania. Many are unaware of the danger hidden in this herbicide and continue to use it. I wonder why it’s not forbidden?
ask your leaders why it isn’t forbidden
I should ask why they are allowed to produce this herbicide.
They lobby with the government so that the Environmental Protection Agency does not ban their products.
It’s forbidden because plenty of herbicides were banned by the European Union several years ago.
