1. Monsanto ordered to pay millions in landmark case<\/p>\n

In August, Monsanto was ordered to pay $78 million in damages to DeWayne Johnson<\/a>, who argued that exposure to the Roundup herbicide he sprayed while working as a school groundskeeper caused him to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.<\/p>\n

The jury\u2019s unanimous decision said Monsanto\u2019s products presented a \u201csubstantial danger\u201d to people and the company failed to warn consumers of the risks.<\/p>\n

Lee Johnson is one of more than 4,000 people from across the country to file suit against Monsanto in state and federal courts based on allegations linking Roundup to cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
