MUST CREDIT: Daniel Acker.A Philadelphia jury delivered a unanimous victory to agricultural giant Monsanto, deciding in favor of the company in a case in which a Lansdale man alleged its popular weed killer Roundup caused his cancer.
Plaintiffs who do not live in Philadelphia are able to file lawsuits in the Philadelphia courts so long as the defendant does business in the city. The city’s Court of Common Pleas isIn this case, plaintiff Carl Kline, 71, alleged that he developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup, the complaint alleges. Kline, a retired postal worker, claimed to have exposed himself to Roundup, which contains an herbicide known as glyphosate, more than 10 times over multiple years.
Peavy said they planned to appeal. “We look forward to our next trial setting where we can discuss with the jury all the evidence.” Those factors “collectively tilted the trial in Monsanto’s favor in a manner inconsistent with any other previous Roundup trial to date,” Peavy added.
