Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company which owns roundup, the commonly used weed killer which contains a chemical believed to cause cancer, is facing hundreds of lawsuits. That chemical has now been found in more than 80% of U.S. urine samples.
Last month, the Supreme Court rejected Bayer's appeal to shut down thousands of lawsuits claiming its Roundup weedkiller is a cancer-causing product. in favor of Edwin Hardeman, a California man who says he developed cancer from using Roundup for decades to treat poison oak, overgrowth and weeds on his San Francisco Bay Area property. Hardeman's lawsuit had served as a test case for thousands of similar lawsuits.
In a statement, Bayer said it disagreed with the Supreme Court's decision not to take up its case. "The company believes that the decision undermines the ability of companies to rely on official actions taken by expert regulatory agencies, as it permits every U.S. state to require a different product label" in conflict with federal laws, Bayer said.
