Bayer asks California to reverse $86m Roundup cancer verdict

The May verdict awarded more than $2bn to a couple who sprayed Roundup on their property for decades to destroy weeds.

Bayer, which acquired Roundup manufacturer Monsanto in a $63bn deal in 2018, to date has faced three juries over claims that Roundup causes cancer. It lost all three trials, resulting in a shareholder revolt and a roughly 20 percent drop of its stock price since the first verdict in August 2018.
