What's This About?

A $45 Million Class Action class action settlement has been reached with Monsanto over certain specific Roundup®, HDX®, or Ace® Weed Killer products.

The class action lawsuit alleges that Monsanto did not accurately advetise weed killer products by failing to disclose by not informing buyers about glyphosate, a potential cause of cancer. The Class Action Settlement provides relief to purchasers of the weed killer products.

Monsanto denies any wrongdoing, and any class member will continue to have a right to sue if they have or develop any injury, including cancer, from exposure to the weed killer products involved in this class action. Monsanto has agreed to settle the lawsuit for the purpose of avoiding the time and expense of further class action lawsuits and court proceedings, which involve further risk and costs.

What Can I Get?

You can approximately 20% of the average retail price you paid for the relevant weed killer products. Payments per single unit product will range from $0.50 to $33.00, depending on the price the product sold for originally. This amount will be paid for between 2 and 11 units claimed without proof of purchase, depending on the state of purchase (see above list).

The amount available for each product is variable, and you can find more information on how what amounts are available on the class administrator's website (link below). Aside from the three largest concentrated weed killer products, claims can be made without proof of purchase, but such claims are limited to 1 unit per year. For example, if a Claimant purchased a 1.33 gal. container of Roundup® Ready to Use Max Control 365 in California once a year since 2015, the refund amount could be $56.00 without proof of purchase. You do not have to have proof of purchase, but if you do, there is no limit to the amount you can claim purchased.
