Roundup settlement checks mailed

Exciting news!

If you're a recipient of a Roundup settlement check, congratulations! You've been part of a significant class-action lawsuit against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) over allegations that their popular weedkiller, Roundup, contains a chemical called glyphosate that can cause cancer.

Here's what you need to know about the settlement checks:

What is the settlement about? The Roundup settlement is a result of a class-action lawsuit filed in 2018, alleging that Monsanto's Roundup product caused non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in users. The lawsuit claimed that Monsanto failed to warn consumers about the potential health risks associated with the product.

Who is eligible for a settlement check? The settlement applies to individuals who used Roundup or other glyphosate-based products and were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or other cancers. Eligible individuals must have used the product for at least 10 years and have been diagnosed with NHL or another cancer.

What is the settlement amount? The settlement amount varies depending on the individual's diagnosis and the extent of their exposure to Roundup. The average settlement amount is around $10,000 to $20,000, but some cases may be worth more or less.

When will I receive my settlement check? The settlement checks are being mailed out to eligible recipients. If you're a recipient, you should have received a notice with instructions on how to cash your check. The checks are being mailed out in batches, so it may take some time for everyone to receive their check.

What do I need to do with my settlement check? Once you receive your settlement check, you'll need to cash it and deposit the funds into your bank account. You may also need to sign a release form, which waives your right to pursue further legal action against Monsanto or Bayer.

What if I have questions or concerns? If you have questions or concerns about your settlement check, you can contact the settlement administrator or a lawyer who is handling the case. They can provide guidance on the next steps and answer any questions you may have.

Remember to carefully review your settlement check and any accompanying documents before cashing it. If you have any doubts or concerns, it's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or a lawyer.
