In a series of legal battles involving major pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies, Bayer and Johnson & Johnson have faced significant financial judgments and settlements. Bayer's stock fell by 5% following a $2.2 billion verdict against it for its product Roundup, which a jury associated with cancer cases. This includes a $2.25 billion jury verdict, with $2 billion in punitive damages, awarded to a cancer patient. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $149.5 million to Washington state and its local governments to settle a lawsuit over the company's role in the opioid epidemic. In another case, a U.S. jury awarded Natera $96.2 million in a patent infringement case against CareDx, including $12.6 million in past royalties and $83.7 million for lost profits related to patents covering Natera's Panorama technology. Additionally, an Australian court is hearing closing arguments in a class action lawsuit alleging that Bayer's weedkiller caused cancer, marking the first such case in Australia to reach this stage.

*BAYER FALLS 5% AFTER $2.2 BILLION ROUNDUP VERDICT* | SO why are we still selling #roundup?
Roundup only kills weeds. There is zero credible evidence it causes cancer. In fact, there is no evidence that any legally administered pesticide has ever harmed anyone. https://t.co/VTzOKECPOU https://t.co/yFbvGag8kY
