Germany’s Bayer Says it Won a Roundup Cancer Trial in California

German chemical giant Bayer AG said it won a trial in a US lawsuit brought by a man who said exposure to its Roundup herbicide caused him to develop cancer.

The verdict in favor of Bayer by the Superior Court of California in San Benito County “brings this trial to a successful conclusion and is consistent with the evidence in this case that Roundup does not cause cancer and is not responsible for the plaintiff’s illness,” the Leverkusen, Germany-based company said in a statement. “We continue to stand behind the safety of Roundup.”
