Here are five crucial things you need to know.The BackgroundManufactured by agrochemical company Monsanto, Roundup\u00ae is a common household name and may be present in your home or garage.In 2015, one of the weed killer\u2019s main ingredients, glyphosate, was named a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Roundup\u00ae users have become concerned about developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and various other cancers found in the blood.The Disease: Non-Hodgkin\u2019s LymphomaNon-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that attacks the lymphatic system. It develops from white blood cells that help the body get rid of infections. It isn\u2019t unusual for this type of cancer to develop in other areas such as bone marrow, lymph nodes, or even the digestive tract.Roundup\u00ae use was potentially linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma by the International Agency for Research on Cancer when several animals developed cancer after exposure to the weed killer\u2019s main ingredient, glyphosate.The RiskCould you be at risk for developing cancer due to Roundup\u00ae exposure?While those who work outdoors have the greatest chance of exposure to the harmful chemical, it\u2019s possible that you or your family could have been exposed as well. Roundup\u00ae can be found in some of the following high-traffic family areas:SidewalksRoadsPlaygroundsSchoolsPublic parksIf you or a loved one is dealing with a blood related cancer like lymphoma, and believe you may have been exposed to Roundup\u00ae on a regular basis, share this information with your doctor right away, and consider speaking with an attorney to see if you could be entitled to compensation.The LawsuitBecause Monsanto didn\u2019t disclose to purchasers and users that it\u2019s Roundup\u00ae contained potential cancer-causing ingredients, several individuals have filed suit for they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup\u00ae.Lawsuits have been steadily cropping up across the United States, mostly from those workers who used the weed killer repeatedly believing it to be harmless.In one case, McCall vs. Monsanto, a widow is suing the company for her late husband\u2019s death in connection to his prolonged use of the product on their farm.Most recently in 2018, jurors awarded Lee Johnson, a California school groundskeeper who said exposure to Roundup caused his non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, $39 million for his losses and $250 million to punish Monsanto after finding it liable for a design defect and failing to warn of Roundup\u2019s risks.How We Can Help: Experienced Cancer AttorneysIf you believe that you or someone you know has developed a blood-related cancer such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a result of Roundup\u00ae exposure, we\u2019d be glad to let you know your legal options by phone, email or in person as you prefer.Consultations are free, so contact us today."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.wardblacklaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"5 Things You Need to Know About the Claims for Cancer Caused by Roundup\u00ae","item":"https:\/\/www.wardblacklaw.com\/blog\/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-roundup\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
