A federal jury ordered Monsanto to pay more than $80 million in damages to a California man whose cancer it determined was partly caused by his use of the popular weedkiller Roundup. Bayer AG had hoped a new trial strategy focusing jurors on scientific evidence could stem a burgeoning tide of U.S. lawsuits over its glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup, but a second jury finding that the product caused cancer has narrowed the company’s options, some legal experts said. The legal troubles keep mounting for German pharmaceutical giant Bayer since it acquired Monsanto last June for $62.5 billion as its weedkiller has now been linked to a second man’s cancer, as more than 11,200 other plaintiffs are waiting in the wings. Court rules glyphosate health risk studies must be public. In another victory, private property owners can use only organic treatments for gardens and lawns in the city of Portland.
