Bayer is on a winning streak as it battles the remaining cases targeting its Roundup weedkiller, a change after several juries had held it responsible for causing cancer and the company set aside about $16 billion for settlements.
A St. Louis jury in September ruled in Bayer’s favor in a trial involving several plaintiffs, delivering the company its fifth consecutive trial victory as it seeks to resolve tens of thousands of unsettled lawsuits alleging that Roundup, the world’s most widely used herbicide, caused cancer in homeowners, landscapers and farmers.
