A California jury has ordered agrochemical giant Monsanto to pay $289 million in damages to a dying man who claims that the company’s weed killers contributed to his cancer
Lawyers representing 46-year-old Dewayne Johnson, successfully argued that the company knew about the health hazards of regular exposure to their products Roundup and Ranger Pro, which contain the controversial herbicide glyphosate, and failed to adequately warn consumers of the alleged risks.
