Default USA: Groundsman with terminal cancer wins $289m from weed killer maker

[A jury in San Francisco told agribusiness
giant Monsanto it must pay $250m in punitive damages and $39m
in compensatory damages after the firm lost a legal case.
The court was told Dewayne Johnson
has a terminal form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
which he claims he caught after working
as a pest control manager at a school.]


Giant company Monsanto (Bayer) is fighting this
as loads of other Americans also have a cancer (they claim)
from using Round Up weed killer.

[Monsanto, a subsidiary of German firm Bayer AG,
has denied glyphosate is linked to cancer,
saying hundreds of studies have found
the product to be safe.]



Will weed killer sells slow down?


[UK Homebase reviewing weedkillers after US cancer lawsuit
The maker of Roundup is ordered to pay $289m to a dying
groundsman who says the product contributed to his cancer.]

Roundup has been questionable for years. I know nothing about gardening or weedkiller, but I know Roundup messes with your immune system.
