Bayer loses third appeals case over weedkiller
Bayer has lost a third appeal against U.S. court verdicts that awarded damages to customers blaming their cancers on use of its glyphosate-based weedkillers.
A California appeals court late on Monday upheld an $86 million verdict that found German Bayer was responsible for a couple's cancer.
They had used Bayer's glyphosate-based Roundup product against weeds.
Bayer in February 2020 filed an appeal, saying the verdict could not be reconciled with sound science.
Or with product clearance from the federal environment regulator.
Roundup-related lawsuits have dogged the company since it acquired the brand as part of its $63 billion purchase of Monsanto in 2018.
Bayer reaffirmed plans to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court this month to review a similar Roundup case that went in favour of Roundup user Edwin Hardeman.
Bayer struck a settlement deal in principle with plaintiffs last year.
But it failed to win court approval for a separate agreement on how to handle future cases.
Bayer intended to keep the product on the market.
Among measures to contain the legal damage, Bayer plans to replace glyphosate in weedkillers for the U.S. residential market with other active ingredients.
It will continue to sell the herbicide to farmers, who rely on it heavily.
