25 Jun 2020 --- Bayer has announced a series of agreements that will substantially resolve major outstanding Monsanto litigation, including US Roundup product liability litigation. The German chemical giant is to pay up to US$10.85 billion to settle claims linked to its Roundup weedkiller, a glyphosate-based product that has been subject to around 125,000 lawsuits over its allegedly carcinogenic effects. Bayer denies any wrongdoing, however, says the resolution puts “an end to uncertainty”.
