St. Louis Trial over Monsanto Roundup Cancer Claims in Limbo via @USRightToKnow https://t.co/5WEr1bVYp8

For now, Monsanto is guaranteed to be around until next year even though over 18,000 lawsuits have been filed against the company in regards to the weed killer Roundup. The main active ingredient in the herbicide is glyphosate. Glyphosate is great at killing weeds, but the problem is that glyphosate is also good at destroying the immune system of the consumers of Roundup because glyphosate is considered to be carcinogenic.
Due to the massive amount of cases filed over the past couple of years, all of these cases have been delayed until next year. However, Monsanto is doing a couple of more things in order to increase the delay even further.
Monsanto’s lawyers are looking to break up all class action suits. By pursuing to defend against each case separately will increase the time before any of the plaintiffs actually obtain a trial. The increased time will give Monsanto a way to wait until one of these cases reaches the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court gives a verdict in favor of Monsanto, then Monsanto would not have to pay any restitution.
even if the US is for sale, other nations will still sue and hopefully it is enough to put them out of business…
Some NZ lawyers are better than others in our country however, the Govt should look into it any where in the world. I am so glad I did not buy round up
The problem with Roundup is that a person has to saturate the entire lawn with the toxins for it to actually work.
You gotta know lawyers in India. They know all the tricks of delaying things.
Delays are only temporary.
Another Monsanto rant?
You guessed correctly. You will see some more next week.
