In the lawsuit that Bayer took to the appeals court, it was argued that the company failed to inform potential Roundup users about the cancer risk.

Bayer bought Roundup from Monsanto for $63 billion in 2018.

There are many lawsuits in U.S. courts claiming that the use of Roundup by Monsanto can lead to cancer.

Bayer, however, believes that Roundup is not harmful to health. The EPA, which conducted tests on Roundup, determined that glyphosate in the herbicide is safe as long as used cautiously.
