US EditionMissouri appeals court upholds $611M judgment in Roundup liability case
- On May 27, 2025, the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals affirmed a $611 million verdict against Bayer in a lawsuit brought by three plaintiffs claiming that the company’s Roundup product caused cancer.
- This ruling followed numerous lawsuits claiming glyphosate, Roundup's active ingredient, causes Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and Bayer's failed effort to pass Missouri legislation shielding it from liability.
- Plaintiffs’ attorney Matthew Clement expressed satisfaction that the decision validates the jury verdict and noted there was no legislative change affecting future cases this year.
- Bayer spokesperson Brian Leake stated the company will continue appealing, arguing trial court errors included allowing inadmissible testimony that biased the jury, while affirming EPA assessments support Roundup’s safety.
- With over 67,000 lawsuits pending and $10 billion already paid in settlements, this decision intensifies Bayer’s litigation costs and contributes to its consideration of discontinuing Roundup amid continued legal challenges.
