Dangerous Products Lawyer
Some studies have shown chemicals in Roundup, a very common weed killer, may cause cancer. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed linking the product to cancer after studies have shown that the chemical glyphosate, which Roundup uses as its most active ingredient, might cause health issues in humans.
Specifically, studies like 2019 research from the University of Washington found exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides like Roundup is associated with an alarming 41 percent increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
In September 2022, a new study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that exposure to glyphosate caused increased rates of thyroid cancer as well.
The links between different types of cancer and glyphosate are still being studied. However, there have been legal cases that involved a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after the use of Roundup weed killer.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after the use of Roundup weed killer, especially with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, please don’t hesitate to call our team at Phillips Law Group to review your case. If cancer caused the death of a loved one who used the product, you may also be entitled to compensation.

Health Issues and Roundup Weed Killer
