Bayer Faces Pivotal Test of $7. 25 Billion Roundup Settlement in Missouri Court The hearing in Missouri state court on Monday marks a critical moment for Bayer as it seeks approval of its proposed $7.
25 billion settlement, which could resolve tens of thousands of US lawsuits alleging that its popular weedkiller Roundup causes cancer.
This is not the first time Bayer has attempted to put years of litigation behind it – the company's previous settlement in 2020 was worth approximately $10 billion and resolved many existing Roundup lawsuits – but this time around, the stakes are higher.
