Understanding Roundup and Cancer Risk
What Is Glyphosate and How Does It Cause Cancer?
Roundup contains glyphosate, an herbicide used for decades to kill weeds. Farmers, landscapers, and homeowners apply the chemical to disrupt plant growth. However, scientific research has raised serious concerns about its effects on human health.
Exposure to glyphosate occurs through direct contact with the product. Inhalation of spray mist also causes exposure. Prolonged contact with contaminated soil and surfaces presents another risk. Agricultural workers, landscapers, and people who regularly use Roundup face the highest exposure levels. Even residents living near agricultural areas can experience exposure through drift and runoff.
In March 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans. This classification came after reviewing decades of scientific studies. A 2019 meta-analysis published in Mutation Research Reviews examined glyphosate exposure and cancer development. The study found that individuals with high exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides had a 41% increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Types of Cancer Linked to Roundup
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and Related Cancers
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma represents the primary cancer associated with Roundup exposure. This blood cancer develops in the lymphatic system and can take several forms. Research has examined the link between glyphosate exposure and overall NHL risk.
Researchers have also examined potential connections between glyphosate exposure and certain leukemia types. If you developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or another cancer after using Roundup, you may qualify for a product liability lawsuit. Contact Odom Law Firm to discuss whether your specific diagnosis qualifies for compensation.
Who Qualifies for a Roundup Lawsuit
You may qualify for a Roundup lawsuit if you developed cancer after exposure to the herbicide. Qualifying groups include:
- Agricultural workers and farmers who applied Roundup to crops
- Landscapers and groundskeepers who used Roundup professionally
- Garden center and nursery employees who handled the product
- Homeowners who regularly used Roundup on their property
- Railroad and utility workers who applied Roundup for vegetation control
- Residents living near agricultural areas with potential exposure through drift
To pursue a claim, you need to demonstrate two key elements. First, you must prove exposure to Roundup. Second, you must have a medical diagnosis of a cancer linked to glyphosate. Odom Law Firm can help you gather the documentation needed to support your case.
Recent Verdicts and Settlements
The legal system has recognized the connection between Roundup and cancer through significant verdicts and settlements. In January 2024, a Pennsylvania jury awarded $2.25 billion to a man who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup. The verdict was later reduced to $400 million by the trial judge in June 2024.
Just months earlier, in October 2023, a Philadelphia jury returned a $175 million verdict for an 83-year-old man with the same diagnosis. These recent cases build on earlier major verdicts. In 2019, California juries awarded $2 billion to a couple with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Another plaintiff received $80 million. Both verdicts were substantially reduced on appeal, with final amounts of approximately $87 million and $25.2 million respectively.
Across all cases, over $11 billion in settlements have been paid to date. More than 131,000 settlements were completed as of October 2025. Bayer announced in August 2025 that it set aside $1.37 billion to address ongoing Roundup cancer lawsuits in the U.S. Review Odom Law Firm‘s case results to see how we’ve helped clients recover compensation.
