I'm not sure how well-known it was. Bayer and Mansanto agreed to merge in 2016. The first large jury award in a case claiming RoundUp caused cancer was in August 2018.
It's worth noting that RoundUp has been sold and marketed for close to fifty years at this point. It is extremely well understood, extremely well studied, extremely common, but we're only recently seeing a number of successful lawsuits claiming glyphosate is a carcinogen.
- nickpsecurity 7y agoThe public at large had a chance to know they're knee deep in decisions that might cause lawsuits. So, that's probably well-known. Two examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZkDikRLQrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZkDikRLQrw If anything, I'm only surprised something hasn't happened sooner. And then a bunch more times given the size of their product portfolio.
