A court award of $289.2 million, reduced to $78.5
million, has been reduced again to $21.5 million by an appeals court in California.
But the court upheld the verdict that glyphosate
in Monsanto’s Ranger Pro herbicide caused non-Hodgkins lymphoma in schoolyard
groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson.
The 1st District Court of Appeal said there was
evidence to support a California jury’s 2018 decision that “Monsanto acted with
a conscious disregard for public safety.”
