Bayer sued by Australian man over Roundup’s alleged link to cancer

Bayer is being sued by an Australian man, alleging the weed killer Roundup, seen here in a San Francisco store, caused him severe harm.Lawyers of an Australian gardener on Tuesday said they had filed a lawsuit against Bayer AG agricultural chemicals unit Monsanto for severe harm caused by an ingredient used in its weed killer Roundup, the first such case in the country.

In court documents seen by Reuters filed in the Australian state of Victoria on Monday, self-employed Michael Ogalirolo, 54, said he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma – a type of leukemia – after using Monsanto’s Roundup for more than 20 years.“Roundup products are dangerous to human health and unfit to be marketed and sold in commerce, particularly without proper warnings and directions,” the writ filed by Carbone Lawyers says.

“We have great sympathy for any individual with cancer, but the extensive body of science on glyphosate-based herbicides over four decades supports the conclusion that Roundup does not cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” it said in a statement.
