Roundup Weedkiller Lawsuits Claim it Causes Cancer
Recently a federal jury awarded a California man more than $80 million dollars in a case that found Roundup weedkiller exposure contributed to his cancer’s development. This is actually the second time that a person has successfully sued the manufacturer of Roundup weedkiller, Monsanto, over the weedkiller’s potential to contribute to cancer development. Monsanto now faces thousands of similar cases to this and now faces even more consequences in the form of Costco now removing Roundup weedkiller from their shelves.
Currently, Costco has not made any official statements regarding their removal of Roundup from their shelves. The decision to discontinue the sale of the controversial weed killer comes none too soon with petitions being made by people such as Moms Across America founder Zen Honeycutt that call for the removal of Roundup weed killer from Costco’s shelves and have amassed more than 150,000 signatures on Change.org. Various news outlets have since confirmed that Costco has stopped all locations from ordering not only Roundup but all weed killers that utilize the ingredient glyphosate which is believed to be the primary cause for the development of cancer among those exposed to the weedkiller.
