Bayer Loses Appeal on Glyphosate

Sacramento - A California state appeals court upheld a 2019 ruling against Monsanto in the case of herbicide Roundup. Monsanto had appealed the initial decision in the case, which saw the trial judge award a couple in California $87 million. In a 2-1 ruling on August 10, the First District Court of Appeals in San Francisco sided with the plaintiffs.

Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, recently announced that it would pull Roundup and other glyphosate products from lawn & garden markets beginning in 2023, replacing glyphosate with other active ingredients. Bayer is also expected to appeal this recent ruling to the Supreme Court.
