| Roundup Lawsuit Given Green Light |
| |
Hundreds of lawsuits claiming Monsanto's weed killer Roundup caused cancer were given the green light to proceed to trial, a San Francisco judge ruled Tuesday. The chemical glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup, is at the center of the debate. Cancer victims and families presenting cases say Monsanto knew about the ingredient's risk for years, but failed to warn buyers. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said there's â??rather weak" evidence the ingredient causes cancer, but the opinions of three experts linking glyphosate and non-Hodgkinâ??s lymphoma were not â??junk science."

|
An appeals court overturned a $1 million jury verdict against Stoneleigh Place Apartments in Garland. The Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas reversed the trial courtâ??s ruling, in which jurors decided the leasing company should have known about the danger a faulty window posed, and that it failed to protect the woman renting the apartment from that danger. Tracy Childers and Mary Trout, who filed the lawsuit against AVPM Corp., were sexually assaulted in June 2014 after a man broke through Childersâ?? window at Stoneleigh Place Apartments in Garland.
