Roundup Settlement

The lawsuit alleges that a statement on the rear label of roundup products that states ‘targets an enzyme found in plants but not in people or pets,’ is false and misleading. Monsanto has denied any wrongdoing but has agreed to this settlement.

Who Is Eligible?

You’re eligible if you purchase a roundup product (see below) with the above mentioned enzyme language:

Roundup® Ready-to-Use Weed & Grass Killer III;
Roundup® Ready-to-Use Weed & Grass Killer Plus;
Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer Concentrate Plus; or
Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate

How Much Will We Get

The settlement pool is $39,550,000. You’re able to make a claim for approximately 10% of the weighted average retail price of eligible products. If you do not have proof of purchase you’re limited to claiming one unit per household per year. If claims exceed the settlement pool then refunds will be reduced pro rate. Specific refund amounts range from $0.37 to $10.63 and can be seen here.
