WEDNESDAY, March 20, 2018 (HealthDay News) — Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller was a major factor in a California man’s cancer, a federal jury in San Francisco has ruled.<\/p>\n

The decision in Edwin Hardeman’s case is a landmark verdict that could impact hundreds of other similar lawsuits, according to The Guardian<\/i> newspaper in the United Kingdom. Hardeman’s case was the first federal trial over Roundup. He alleged that exposure to the weedkiller led to his non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The 70-year-old man said he started using the chemical in 1986 to control weeds and poison oak on his properties.<\/p>\n

In the next phase of the case, the jury will consider liability and damages, The Guardian<\/i> reported. Last August, a California jury in state court delivered a historic verdict by ruling that Roundup caused the terminal cancer of a former school groundskeeper.<\/p>\n

Monsanto, now owned by pharmaceutical company Bayer, faces more than 9,000 Roundup-related lawsuits in the United States, The Guardian<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n
