Nursery Employee Roundup Cancer Lawsuits

For over 40 years, Monsanto has held a dark secret. Their product, Roundup, a herbicide used for eradicating weeds, has been linked to the development of certain cancers, and it has affected those that use their products the most: nursery employees.

Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, has been recently linked to debilitating side effects, injuries, and cancers like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in caretakers that tend to nurseries or other commercial gardens.

And now, thousands are coming forward with their stories of how Roundup has affected them, even those outside of the nursery industry. In 2019, for instance, a jury ordered Monsanto to pay out over $289 million in damages to a 46-year-old school groundskeeper that used the toxic herbicide roughly 30 times a year and developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

If you were recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or some other form of cancer and have a history of using Roundup in your nursery, contact The Driscoll Firm, LLC at 800-900-7704 or online to get the help you need to earn your rightful compensation today.

Why is Roundup Dangerous for Nursery Employees?

For over 40 years, caretakers of nurseries around the United States have used Roundup to take care of pesky weeds, but recently, the herbicide was found to be doing much more damage than originally anticipated, at least to users of the toxic product.

Nursery employees exposure to the main ingredient of Roundup – glyphosate – can occur when:

Inhaling the chemical glyphosate in aerosol form as it is applied to crops or plants.
Consuming food or water contaminated by the chemical.
Cleaning up weed killer chemicals or transferring it from one container to another.

Data backing up the dangers of glyphosate exposure has been generated in multiple studies from the World Health Organization (WHO) and their research wing, International Agency for Research on Cancer around 2015. What these studies have shown is that glyphosate is linked to the development of certain cancers like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Additionally, these reports found that glyphosate causes damage to DNA in both humans and animals. Because of the dangers that glyphosate usage poses, many countries around the globe have banned its use in order to keep caretakers like nursery employees safe.

What are the Side Effects & Injuries From Glyphosate Exposure?

Now that Roundup—specifically its main ingredient glyphosate—is a known hazard that causes many negative effects to nursery employees, the main point of concern that we must remain vigilant on is the development of certain cancers such as:

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Leukemia
Myeloma
B-Cell Lymphoma

The chemical glyphosate is also known to cause a multitude of other side effects and injuries like:

Alzheimer’s Disease
Autism
Brain Cancers
Breast, Lung, and Prostate Cancers
Celiac Disease (and other gluten intolerances)
Colitis
Depression
Diabetes
Heart Disease
Hypothyroidism
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Liver Disease
Lou Gehrig’s Disease
Multiple Sclerosis
Parkinson’s Disease
Obesity
Reproductive Problems
Respiratory Illnesses

Other side effects like ADHD, which occurs because of the effects glyphosate has on thyroid hormone function, and even birth defects like anencephaly —a condition where a portion of the baby’s brain is underdeveloped or missing entirely — have also been correlated to chronic (frequent) Roundup exposure.

If you or someone you love worked as a nursery employee, used Roundup frequently, and developed certain cancers like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or any of the above side effects or injuries, you will need to get a professional examination from a doctor to confirm. Then, contact The Driscoll Firm, LLC to start the claims process.

Last but not least, you will then have to decide if filing individually, a multi-district litigation, or a class action lawsuit is the best option to select for you and your loved ones.

Multidistrict Litigation Lawsuit, a Class Action Lawsuit, or an Individual Lawsuit?

With over 5,000 individual Roundup cases still pending, many more individuals are coming forward with claims against Monsanto and their product Roundup.

Yet filing as an individual claim isn’t the only route victims of toxic exposure are taking. One of the other options lies in filing in a multi-district litigation (MDL) lawsuit. In an MDL, all related cases are bundled together and processed in a single court district.

The other option that victims have is to enter into a class action lawsuit. A class action lawsuit is different from an MDL in the sense that an individual’s case is consolidated into one legal action.

To further explain, an MDL is still considered an individual case, but similar to a class action lawsuit, resources are pooled across the cases that make taking on these negligent companies like Monsanto much easier.

Despite the shared benefits, an MDL is better at addressing a client’s individual needs; however, whenever the MDL or class action lawsuit is won or settled, compensation is dispersed according to the value of damages you incurred.

Whichever route you decide to take, you should speak with an experienced product liability lawyer like the ones at The Driscoll Firm, LLC to discuss what option is best for you.
