The jury in San Francisco Superior Court in Oakland said the company was liable for plaintiffs Alva and Alberta Pilliod’s contracting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a spokeswoman for the couple said. The jury found Roundup had been defectively designed, that the company failed to warn of the herbicide’s cancer risk and that the company acted negligently.

TinaBellon Now a third time a US judge ruled RoundUp is causing cancer. Can HomeDepot and Lowes still sell it without a warning? You better take it out of your stores.

TinaBellon Scientific facts have shown glyphosate is non carcinogenic. It will be taken all the way to Supreme Court where they will judge cases on scientific facts.

TheDeveloperUK TinaBellon Scary stuff 😮

TinaBellon Get glyphosate out of food and away from humans so we can live.

TinaBellon But it's scientifically proven that roundup doesn't cause cancer but it was scientifically proven that vaccination doesn't cause autism but no one cared now the measles are back liberals were suppose to be the smart ones🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️⏳

TinaBellon ConsumerReports paulakahumbu Jackie_Arkle MahanRajesh KOT Isn’t this same weed killer used extensively in Kenya ? Could this be contributing to high rates of Cancer?

TinaBellon Why not make it 2-trillion? Or 200 trillion? That will be the easiest victory against Germany. Make General Eisenhower & company blush.

TinaBellon Highway Robery is so yesterday. California Jury is the new game in town!

ReallyMarcia TinaBellon You are amazing. How'd someone so shy get through the auditioning process?

TinaBellon Bayer will probably make their money back treating cancer then :/

TinaBellon It's a joke. The Bayer will appeal, and on the appeal the judge will throw the case. The plaintiff won't even receive a penny. As usual, this is how corporate cases will end. Don't expect any justice.

TinaBellon Is anyone surprised by this? People, this is why these trials started in nutbag california. They don’t listen to science, just emotion

NYCNavid TinaBellon I don't use it (I have pets) but I am curious how do you prove a particular substance (talc, roundup, asbestos) caused your cancer?

ReallyMarcia TinaBellon ReallyMarcia was your husband involved in this lawsuit? I seen a similar one out here in LA I think a long time ago.

MCITLFrAphorism TinaBellon California, nuff said

TinaBellon Big company vs little guy. Connection is extremely tenuous...emotion rules the day...and it's California. This is why insurance premiums are thru the roof and costs passed on to consumers.

TinaBellon I told all the media Roundup is dangerous with citation years ago and once again, proven RIGHT.🤦‍♂️ Boycott Round-up & anything containing glyphosate. ✅

KaivanShroff TinaBellon These cases are on a long track to the Supreme Court- Highly doubt that Bayer is worried or they would be filing bankruptcy.

BonnieHenson18 TinaBellon My husband is part of the class action suit against them. Sadly he lost his battle last August after suffering miserably. He had no risk factors except farming for years using round up. I miss him terribly. My wish is for no further cases due to their negligence 😔

TinaBellon What price for your brother, sister, mother, father? Do they keep statistics on farmers who die from cancer? Or of children who play in public parks on grass with no weeds?

TinaBellon Alternate headline: California jury finds that Bayer's glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer caused a couple's cancer and that the damages amounted to $2 billion.

TinaBellon Reuters should investigate if a Judicial nexus exists in USA where the jury and judges favour select communities and races for favourable judgements. In India Justices are shameless and open about seeking Bribes for favourable, illogical and illegal judgements. SAD.

TinaBellon A lot of money!! I doubt they will receive any of it...

TinaBellon Chemicals cause cancer! Kill Nature, kill ourselves...

TinaBellon Why not 457743 billion?

TinaBellon The inmates rule the asylum.

TinaBellon add that to this...

TinaBellon Woah. How can Monsanto remain in business after these court decisions?
