Bayer has reached final settlement terms with three major law firms representing thousands of plaintiffs who claim exposure to Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicides caused them to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The new deals have been made with California-based Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman law firm; the Andrus Wagstaff firm from Colorado; and the Moore Law Group of Kentucky. The deals come after allegations by the three law firms that Bayer was reneging on terms of agreements already made months earlier. The firms told the court that they each now have a “fully-executed and binding Master Settlement Agreement with Monsanto". US Right to Know
