Bayer has been ordered to pay $2.25 billion in damages to a Pennsylvania man who claimed that his cancer was caused by exposure to the company's Roundup weedkiller. The jury verdict included $2 billion in punitive damages, marking the highest amount yet in the ongoing litigation linked to the alleged carcinogenic effect of Roundup. Following the verdict, Bayer's shares slumped nearly 6%, and the company faces mounting pressure to address its Roundup weedkiller litigation, with US jury verdicts totaling almost $4 billion in the last three months. An Australian court is also considering a class action lawsuit alleging that Bayer's weedkiller caused cancer, the first such case in Australia. The Pennsylvania man, a 49-year-old groundskeeper, was awarded the record $2.25 billion after the jury concluded that decades of using Roundup caused his blood cancer.
