Monsanto Roundup appeal has uphill climb on 'junk science' grounds:...
EW YORK (Reuters) - Bayer AG (BAYGn.DE) unit Monsanto faces long odds on an appeal blaming an “inflamed” jury and “junk science” for a verdict of $289 million in damages to a man who said the company’s Roundup weed killer caused his cancer, according to some legal experts.
Last week’s verdict ended the first trial over whether glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, causes cancer. Monsanto, which says decades of scientific studies have shown Roundup and glyphosate are safe, is facing about 5,000 similar lawsuits nationwide.
Bayer stock fell sharply on Monday following Friday’s verdict in San Francisco Superior Court.
Monsanto said on Monday it planned to challenge the verdict on the grounds that the judge should have barred scientific evidence presented by California school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson’s lawyers as insufficient.
DANG? MAGA: Wants farmers to freely poison us. To have more access unregulated to poisons us with their products. And I thought CHINA was bad serving us
rat poison dry milk. was it? And Moms, Babies are exposed to these poisons by cows eating
weed killers in feeds. They get to eat more poisons.

MAGA: Farmers be poisoning Americans. How was your bowl of Weed-Killer LACED Honey Nut Cheerios?
