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.
