MONSANTO was ordered yesterday to pay some US$81 million to an American retiree who blames his cancer on the agribusiness giant’s weedkiller Roundup. A San Francisco jury found the firm, which is owned by Bayer, had been “negligent by not using reasonable care” to warn of the risks of its product, ordering it to pay Edwin Hardeman US$75 million in punitive damages, US$5.6 million in compensation and US$200,000 for medical expenses.
