Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY -0.9%) is asking a California appeals court to overturn an $86M verdict that found it was responsible for a couple’s cancer caused by its Roundup weedkiller.
The May verdict by a California jury awarded more
than $2B to the couple who claimed they sprayed Roundup on their
property for more than three decades; the trial judge later lowered the
damages to $86M.
The company says decades of studies have shown
Roundup and glyphosate are safe for human use and that the lawyer
repeatedly violated court orders during the trial in an attempt to
inflame jurors.
Bayer, which acquired Roundup via its 2018 deal
for Monsanto, so far has lost all three jury trials over claims that
Roundup causes cancer.
