Bayer bought the chemical manufacturer Monsanto in 2018. Bayer has set aside billions to settle legal claims that the active ingredient in the company's weedkiller Roundup has caused cancer and other health issues among its users. John Durnell first sued Monsanto in 2019, arguing that he developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma because of persistent exposure to glyphosate in Roundup. In 2023, a Missouri jury found Monsanto liable for failing to warn users of the cancer risk from glyphosate and awarded him $1.25 million in damages. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in one case that didn't reach a settlement. The case rests on a Missouri law that bans the sale of dangerous products without adequate warnings.
