Georgia Jury Awards $2.1 Billion in Roundup® Lawsuit Against Bayer

On March 22, 2025, a Georgia jury delivered a groundbreaking verdict against Bayer, awarding $2.1 billion to a plaintiff who alleged their cancer was caused by exposure to Roundup®, Bayer’s widely used weed killer.

The award breaks down into $65 million in compensatory damages — designed to cover the plaintiff’s direct losses — and an extraordinary $2 billion in punitive damages, signaling the jury’s strong disapproval of Bayer’s handling of the product's risks.

Bayer’s Planned Appeal for Rounup Lawsuit

Bayer has announced it will appeal the Georgia decision, citing past successes in reducing large verdicts — in some cases slashing awards by up to 90%. However, this staggering verdict reflects a growing trend: juries are increasingly siding with plaintiffs who claim that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup®, significantly increases cancer risk.

Recent studies from the National Institutes of Health have explored links between glyphosate exposure and serious illnesses, such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

What This Verdict Means for Roundup Lawsuit Victims

This Georgia case is part of a much larger pattern. Thousands of individuals across the United States have filed lawsuits against Bayer, claiming Roundup exposure caused their cancers. The size of this latest verdict could influence future jury decisions and may pressure Bayer into broader settlement negotiations.

If you or a loved one were diagnosed with cancer after using Roundup®, it is crucial to understand your legal rights. Courts are sending a strong message: companies must be held accountable for exposing the public to harmful chemicals without adequate warnings.
