Roundup lawsuit claims allege that exposure to Monsanto's glyphosate-based weed killers caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). As of mid-November 2026, a proposed class settlement of up to $7.25 billion was still awaiting a final approval ruling in Missouri state court after the September 14, 2026 fairness hearing, and federal MDL 2741 listed 916 pending actions on November 2, 2026.

What the Roundup lawsuits claim
Plaintiffs allege that glyphosate-based Roundup products caused NHL and that Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, failed to warn users of the risk. The science is disputed. IARC placed glyphosate in Group 2A in March 2015, while EPA's position is that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans. EPA says it is updating its carcinogenicity evaluation and human health risk assessment and expects to finish in late 2026. The class notice describes the people involved as farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers and gardeners, among others.
Where the litigation stands
The proposed nationwide class settlement was filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. It covers people exposed to Roundup products in the United States before February 17, 2026 who have NHL now or are diagnosed within 16 years after final approval. The court granted preliminary approval on March 4, 2026 and moved the fairness hearing to September 14, 2026; as of late October 2026 the official settlement website said final approval had not been granted. Separately, on June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court held in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) expressly preempted a state-law failure-to-warn claim that would have required a cancer warning beyond the EPA-approved label. Federal cases remain in MDL 2741 before Judge Vince Chhabria in the Northern District of California.
Who may qualify
Class membership generally depends on U.S. exposure to Roundup products before February 17, 2026 and an NHL diagnosis now or within the class period. The official website lists individual benefits from $6,000 to more than $165,000, depending on program criteria. People diagnosed now must register within 180 days after final approval; people diagnosed later generally file within six years of diagnosis. Anyone who validly opted out by June 4, 2026 is outside the class and keeps an individual claim, now shaped by Durnell.
Deadlines and next steps
The opt-out and objection deadline passed on June 4, 2026. Registration and claims open only after final approval. For anyone outside the class, state statutes of limitations, often measured from diagnosis, still apply. See Roundup settlement amounts for published figures and the Roundup settlement calculator for the factors involved.
Frequently asked questions
Has the $7.25 billion Roundup settlement been approved?
Not finally. The Missouri court granted preliminary approval on March 4, 2026 and moved the fairness hearing to September 14, 2026. As of late October 2026, the official settlement website stated that the court had not yet granted final approval, so registration and claims were not open. Payments can begin only after final approval and the resolution of any appeals.
How much will a Roundup class member receive?
The official settlement website lists individual benefits from $6,000 to more than $165,000. Where a person falls depends on the program's criteria. No payments had been made under this settlement as of October 2026, and amounts from earlier Roundup settlements or jury verdicts are not a reliable guide to what this program will pay.
What did the Supreme Court decide in Monsanto v. Durnell?
On June 25, 2026, the Court ruled 7–2, in an opinion by Justice Kavanaugh, that FIFRA expressly preempted Durnell's state-law failure-to-warn claim because it would have required a cancer warning beyond the EPA-approved label. The Court reversed the Missouri Court of Appeals. The decision addressed failure-to-warn claims, not every theory a plaintiff may raise.
Am I affected if I have not been diagnosed?
Possibly. The class covers people exposed before February 17, 2026, including those diagnosed with NHL in the future, and the official website says the settlement will affect class members even without a current diagnosis. Because the opt-out deadline has passed, exposed people who did not opt out are generally bound if the settlement receives final approval.
