Just read that a California jury awarded $289 mil to a guy with cancer:
"Johnson, 46, applied Roundup weedkiller 20 to 30 times per year while working as a groundskeeper for a school district near San Francisco, his attorneys said.
He testified that during his work, he had two accidents in which he was soaked with the product. The first accident happened in 2012.
Two years later, in 2014, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma."
We've sprayed it for years around our fences, driveways, etc. Can't say I've never gotten any on myself. But as usual a runaway California jury decided that an incident with Roundup TWO years before he got cancer was what CAUSED THE CANCER! Whose to say what else he ate or was in contact with over the years didn't cause it?
Now I'm not unsympathetic to cancer patients, I know there are a number on this forum. My mother and dad died from cancer. But I'm sure when he got the cancer that he found some ambulance chasers who met him and said "think man, think. What big deep pocket corporation product have you used over your life time". His response was probably "oh, I spilled Roundup on myself a few years ago". :shock: (Lawyers eyes light up!) IMO, Those guys care little about whether Mr. Johnson lives or dies. All they see is $$$$$
Reminds me of the Seinfeld Episodes with Jackie Childs and tobacco or the candy heiress.
I'd be curious if any of you guys who use it regularly have spilled any on yourself or if you think it's caused you harm with proper use.
