What Risk?
The main ingredient in RoundUp is glyphosate, a recognized carcinogen and prolonged exposure to it can significantly increase the user’s risk of cancer. Glyphosate has been categorized as a Group 2A substance, meaning that it is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
RoundUp is one of the most popular brands for Monsanto, an agricultural and biochemical manufacturer that specializes in producing herbicides. These chemicals specifically combat weeds. You can find these chemicals everywhere from your lawn to commercial farms.
Cancer
The glyphosate in RoundUp has been specifically linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, the foundation of the body’s immune system. Cancers like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that attack the immune system compromise a person’s ability to fight off infections and can pose a fatal threat to people who suffer from it.
Often, victims must undergo extensive treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy. While these treatments can be effective, they often cause further health complications, as well. Were you diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma? Contact

Monsanto’s Role
Victims diagnosed with cancer and related health complications due to exposure to RoundUp could and should hold Monsanto responsible in court.
Legally, all manufacturers must ensure their products do not cause undue harm to their consumers. They must warn consumers of the known dangerous effects of their products. Those who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or other cancers after using the weed killer RoundUp should not have to pay burdensome medical bills out of pocket because of manufacturers negligence.
