U.S. lawsuits build against Monsanto over alleged Roundup cancer link - Spring Planting Cancer?

Glyphosate is not a carcinogen," company spokeswoman Charla Lord said in an emailed statement. "The most extensive worldwide human health databases ever compiled on an agricultural product contradict the claims in the suits."

Roundup is used by farmers, homeowners and others around the globe and brought Monsanto $4.8 billion in revenue in its fiscal 2015. But questions about Roundup's safety have dogged the company for years.

Attorneys who have filed or are eyeing litigation cited strong evidence that links glyphosate to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). They said claims will likely be pursued collaboratively as mass tort actions.

To find plaintiffs, the Baltimore firm of Saiontz & Kirk advertises a "free Roundup lawsuit evaluation" on its website. The Washington, D.C. firm Schmidt & Clark is doing the same, as are other firms in Texas, Colorado and California.

remember your spring poisons for your lawn and garden and remember your gardner most likely will not read the label or internet on what chemical is less poisoness then the other, oh yes do not touch your golf balls or shoes without rubber gloves and a mask after playing 18 holes! PS don't touch your spouse it could be grounds for divorce.
