At Ferraro Law, we are dedicated to standing up for victims harmed by Roundup™ exposure. This widely used herbicide contains glyphosate, a chemical linked to serious health conditions, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other forms of cancer. For decades, Roundup™ exposure lawsuits have highlighted the devastating consequences of corporate negligence and the failure to warn consumers of its dangers.
Prolonged exposure to glyphosate has left countless individuals and families grappling with significant medical, financial, and emotional challenges. These cases are about more than financial compensation—they are about holding companies accountable for the harm caused to individuals who trusted their products. With decades of experience in complex toxic exposure litigation, Ferraro Law is committed to advocating for victims, allowing their voices to be heard.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after prolonged exposure to Roundup™, we are here to provide the legal guidance you need to pursue justice and fair compensation.
Understanding Roundup™ Exposure
Understanding Roundup™ Exposure
What Is Roundup™, and Why Is It Dangerous?
Roundup™ is a popular herbicide manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) that has been widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and home gardening for decades. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Roundup™ exposure occurs through:
Direct Contact
Skin exposure during application.
Inhalation
Breathing in airborne particles.
Contaminated Food or Water
Residual chemicals on crops or in water supplies near treated areas.
Health Risks Associated with Roundup™
Long-term exposure to glyphosate has been linked to:
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Central Nervous Lymphoma
Follicular Lymphoma
Marginal Zone Lymphoma
B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Other Cancers
Farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers, and even home gardeners who have worked with Roundup™ over extended periods are particularly at risk.
