- welcome to our program, i'm tony noakes. (whimsical music) - and i'm dr. wendy walsh. - our topics on today's program will be of special interest to anyone who has suffered injury due to a medical product, medical device or in this segment, a dangerous consumer product. this segment of our program is about roundup weed and grass killer. so, dr. wendy, can you tell us about the problems our viewers should be aware of if they have been exposed to this product? - sure, tony, now roundup weed and grass killer is manufactured by monsanto company and it's a company recently acquired by bayer for over 60 billion dollars. it was introduced in 1974 as a way to kill weeds

while leaving crops and plants in tact. and it sold in 160 countries worldwide, it's one of the most popular herbicides on the market with over 1.4 billion pounds used every year. now, the problem with the product is that it's been designated by the world health organization as a probable human carcinogen. because its main ingredient, glyphosate, is a carcinogen that's said to cause non-hodgkin's lymphoma. now today, roundup is sprayed on nearly every acre of corn, cotton and soy beans grown in the united states. - oh, that's a huge risk factor, for sure, from a product so widely used. so, what is non-hodgkin's lymphoma? - non-hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects white blood cells, which are an important part of our immune system. because lymphocytes circulate throughout most of the body, non-hodgkin's lymphoma can occur nearly anywhere in the body. however, it usually develops in the lymph nodes,

which are masses of tissue that store lymphocytes and eliminate harmful bacteria from our bodies. according to the american cancer society, they estimate that for 2018, over 74,000 people will be diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma with nearly 20,000 deaths caused by this disease. now it's unknown which percentage of cases are associated with exposure to chemicals, of course. - what studies have been done linking roundup exposure to non-hodgkin's lymphoma? - well, this is the interesting part, since 2001, three large studies have linked roundup exposure with non-hodgkin's lymphoma. these studies include one published in the international journal of cancer that was published in october 2008 by swedish researchers who found a doubled increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma among men who were exposed to roundup. occupational and environmental medicine, another journal published a study in september of 2003 that found a 60% increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma

among farm workers in midwestern united states. and finally, cancer epidemiology, biomarkers published a study by canadian researchers in november 2011 that found a dose-response relationship between roundup and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. - has the world health organization issued any reports on this? - oh, they certainly have. in march of 2015, the international agency research on cancer, which is the cancer research arm of the world health organization, issued a report published in lancet oncology. which declared that the glyphosate contained in roundup probably causes cancer in humans. glyphosate was also added to california's list of known human carcinogens, effective july 7, 2017, according to the office of environmental health hazard assessment. and in new york, monsanto agreed to stop falsely advertising roundup weed killer as safe when studies indicate otherwise. - i'm thinking there must be a number of lawsuits that have been filed as a result of the problems with roundup.

- oh, you're thinking right, tony, there have been. in fact, the latest number of roundup glyphosate related lawsuits have ballooned to over 8,000 after a san francisco jury in august 2018 awarded 289 million dollars to a former groundskeeper who was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma. now after denying monsanto's motion for a new trial, the final award was eventually reduced to 78.5 million dollars in october of 2018, this is still the largest glyphosate roundup award so far. additional, individual and class action lawsuits have been filed after this verdict. based on allegations that monsanto knew about the link between exposure to roundup and non-hodgkin's lymphoma and simply failed to warn consumers. - if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma after being exposed to roundup weed killer or glyphosate herbicide, you need to call the number on your screen now as you may be entitled to significant compensation for your injuries.

- this is a legal alert for users of roundup weed killer. roundup weed killer has been designation as a probable human carcinogen by the world health organization. and in july 2018, a judge determined that all federal lawsuits could move forward against monsanto, the maker of roundup weed killer over concerns that those exposed to roundup are at risk for developing non-hodgkin's lymphoma. and in a landmark 289 million dollar verdict in august 2018, a jury concluded that monsanto's roundup weed killer and ranger pro herbicides contributed to a school groundskeeper's non-hodgkin's lymphoma. roundup weed killer is the most commonly used weed killer in american agriculture. if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma after being exposed to roundup or a glyphosate herbicide, you may be entitled to compensation. how do you fight for the compensation you deserve? you choose the right legal team that has the experience, support staff and resources to seek

the most compensation for your injies, call now. - welcome back, we hope you're finding today's program interesting and helpful. and for those viewers who are just joining us, i'm tony noakes and with me today is dr. wendy walsh. this segment of our program is about roundup weed and grass killer. so, dr. wendy, can you tell us about the problems our viewers should be aware of if they have been exposed to this product? - sure, tony, now roundup weed and grass killer is manufactured by monsanto company and it's a company recently acquired by bayer for over 60 billion dollars. it was introduced in 1974 as a way to kill weeds while leaving crops and plants in tact. and it sold in 160 countries worldwide, it's one of the most popular herbicides on the market with over 1.4 billion pounds used every year. now, the problem with the product is

increased herbicide use in the united states by 527 million pounds every year, even though monsanto claimed that its gmo products would reduce pesticide and herbicide use. monsanto also is accused of continually falsifying data on roundup safety, marketing the herbicide as environmentally friendly and biodegradable just to promote sales and this is according to ecowatch. now in january 2007, a french court ruled that these claims amounted to false advertising. - i'm thinking there must be a number of lawsuits that have been filed as a result of the problems with roundup. - oh, you're thinking right, tony, there have been. in fact, the latest number of roundup glyphosate related lawsuits have ballooned to over 8,000 after a san francisco jury in august 2018 awarded 289 million dollars to a former groundskeeper who was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma. now after denying monsanto's motion for a new trial,
