Bayer Weedkiller Lawsuit Dismissed By Australian Judge: Insufficient Evidence Linking Roundup To Blood Cancer
An Australian judge has dismissed a class action lawsuit alleging that Bayer AG (OTC:BAYRY) (OTC:BAYZF) Roundup weedkiller causes a type of blood cancer. This ruling is a significant victory for Bayer, facing numerous similar lawsuits in the United States.
Justice Michael Lee of Australia’s Federal Court ruled that the evidence was insufficient to link Roundup to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system.
