Case Overview
Proposed class counsel and Monsanto (owned by Bayer AG) have announced a $7.25 billion tiered national class settlement agreement that could resolve tens of thousands of pending civil claims filed by individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) after exposure to the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup®.
Proposed Roundup Class Settlement
The proposed settlement was filed in the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court, City of St. Louis, Missouri on Feb. 17, 2026. If approved by the Court, the class settlement will:
- Require defendants to pay up to $7.25 billion over 17-21 years
- Address two distinct classes comprised of “current” claimants (individuals with a NHL diagnosis prior to 2/13/26) and “future” claimants (individuals exposed to Roundup but not diagnosed at the time of the settlement)
- Recognize both residential and occupational exposures to the product
- Tier class members based on whether they were exposed at home or at work, how aggressive their cancer is, and their age at the time of diagnosis
- Allow both current and future claimants to exercise their right to opt out of the settlement and pursue their case individually in the court system
- Include safeguards to help preserve the fund even in the event of bankruptcy or other financial issues encountered by Bayer
