The Dangers of Roundup
Roundup is a common over-the-counter herbicide that kills weeds and grasses. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is a chemical that prevents plants from developing a certain enzyme they need to survive. Roundup is commonly used around private homes, on commercial nurseries, and in public parks.
It is also used on commercial farms, sprayed on crops including:
- Alfalfa
- Soybeans
- Cotton
- Corn
- Wheat
- Canola

Filing a Roundup Lawsuit against Monsanto
Allegedly, Monsanto knew for several years of the possible link between Roundup and cancer – however, they failed to give the public any warning about the potential hazards of their product. This prevented innocent consumers from making informed decisions about using Roundup.
Our Baltimore Roundup injury lawyers are committed to investigating the extent to which Monsanto knew about the hazards of Roundup and the extent of the corporation’s cover-up.
Lawyers have discovered evidence that Monsanto and the EPA ghostwrote reports “proving” that there was no link between Roundup and cancer. The EPA used these falsified reports to support the claim, even though EPA toxicologists believed there were 14 different ways that Roundup could potentially cause cancer.
In the years since the Roundup scandal was first revealed, there have been many lawsuits filed against Monsanto. If you believe you may have been affected by Roundup within the last 10 years, you may be able to file a class-action lawsuit and obtain compensation for the damages that Roundup caused.
