Bayer: US judge rejects Roundup cancer lawsuits plan
The German chemical giant may now consider pulling the weedkiller from sale, but maintains that Roundup s main ingredient glyphosate is safe.
Bayer will review the future of glyphosate-based weedkillers in the US market
US district judge Vincent Chhabria on Wednesday rejected a $2 billion (€1.64 billion) plan set up by German firm Bayer to settle future lawsuits over its controversial Roundup weed killer product.
Thousands of Roundup users have claimed the product gave them Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), a type of blood cancer.
What did the judge say about the plan?
Chhabria said parts of the plan are clearly unreasonable and claimed the proposal could not be salvaged by mere tweaks.

(CN) Judge Maria Lucy Armendariz never told her story to anyone before she was elected to the Los Angeles Superior Court bench in 2018.
“Childhood for me was hardly idyllic,” Armendariz said as she recalled growing up in East Los Angeles with a mother sentenced to life in prison when she was just eight years old. Armendariz was raised in foster homes, and as she grew closer to aging out of the system, she knew she needed a plan. “Back in those days they would just kick you out at age 18 so I knew early on that I had to figure out what I was going to do with my life,” she said.
