"Jury Decision marks Fourth Consecutive Win in Court for Bayer and Roundup"

I had been wondering why we hadn't been seeing much on the Monsanto lawsuits.

It may be because the plaintiffs are no longer winning multi-multi-million dollar awards and settlements. In fact they may not be winning anything at all.

From AgWeb, June 20:

A jury said on Friday that Bayer’s Roundup did not cause an Oregon man’s cancer. The decision, delivered in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Ore., marked the fourth-consecutive win in court for the company.

“The jury’s unanimous verdict in favor of the company brings this trial to a successful conclusion and is consistent with the evidence in this case that Roundup does not cause cancer and was not the cause of Mr. Johnson’s (one of the plaintiffs) cancer,” Bayer said, in a prepared statement. 

“While we have great sympathy for Mr. Johnson, the jury has weighed the evidence from both sides in this case and concluded that Roundup is not responsible for his injuries,” the statement said. 

Costly Lawsuits Piled Up

The Oregon case marks the latest in a long line of Roundup-focused lawsuits the company has had to contend with in the past few years. On its website, the company says it has already settled 107,000 of 138,000 cases, most of which have come out of the U.S. residential lawn and garden marketplace.

In spring of 2021, Bayer announced its decision to pull out of the law [sic] and garden market. The company developed a process, its Five-Point Plan to Close the Roundup Litigation, for guidance. The plan is available for review at https://bit.ly/3OclE14.....
