Bayer to Pull Glyphosate Products—Including Roundup—From U.S. Home and Garden Market
📡@G3News: Bayer-Monsanto announced today that the company will no longer sell glyphosate-based herbicides to U.S. consumers as of 2023, following a costly litigation battle over their cancer-causing weedkillers.
The decision to remove glyphosate from Roundup is a response to years-long court battles Bayer inherited after acquiring Roundup manufacturer Monsanto in 2018. Over one hundred thousand plaintiffs allege that their non-Hodgkins lymphoma is linked to Roundup use.
However, Bayer’s decision only applies to consumer markets—the company will continue selling glyphosate-based formulas for agricultural and professional use.
