US jury orders Monsanto to pay $289m in Roundup cancer trial
Agribusiness giant ordered to pay damages to man who says he got terminal illness after using popular weed killer.
A California jury has ordered chemical giant Monsanto to pay nearly $290m for failing to warn a dying groundskeeper that its weed killer Roundup might cause cancer.
Jurors on Friday unanimously found that Monsanto acted with malice and that its weed killers Roundup and the professional grade version Ranger Pro contributed "substantially" to Dewayne Johnson's terminal illness. It also said the company should have provided a label warning of the potential health hazard.
