The jury has found in favor of Dewayne Lee Johnson on all claims against Monsanto and the products products Roundup Pro and Ranger Pro.
Mr Johnson filed the lawsuit back in Jan of 2016. He alleged exposure to the Roundup herbicide he sprayed while working as a groundskeeper at a local school caused him to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Watch a recording of the live verdict below:
Johnson’s attorneys said he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma after spraying the glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer for two and a half years.
Glyphosate, the world’s leading herbicide, was classified as a probable human carcinogen in 2015 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization.
Monsanto, now a subsidiary of Bayer, held the initial patent and remains its leading distributor.
