Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP has joined a team of leading plaintiffs' law firms to achieve a $7.25 billion settlement class action against Monsanto that would resolve thousands of existing and future claims involving Roundup exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The settlement, filed on February 17, 2026, by Williams Hart & Boundas, Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel, Motley Rice, Seeger Weiss, and the Holland Law Firm, in the City of St. Louis Circuit Court will establish a structured compensation framework for individuals diagnosed with NHL following exposure to Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicide.
Over the past several years, juries nationwide have returned significant verdicts linking Roundup to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, while tens of thousands of claims remain pending in state and federal courts. This settlement, valued at up to $7.25 billion, represents one of the largest mass tort resolutions in history and comes as the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted an appeal to review the validity of Roundup claims, adding urgency to the need for a comprehensive resolution.
According to the settlement, Monsanto will fund the compensation for a class that includes virtually all existing and certain future Roundup cancer claims. The agreement is designed to provide a structured and comprehensive resolution framework for individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma following exposure to the herbicide. Eligible class members will have the right to opt out and pursue their claims individually if they choose.
The significance of this settlement cannot be overstated. It provides a mechanism for thousands of claimants to receive compensation without the uncertainty and delay of individual trials, especially given the Supreme Court's upcoming review.

This resolution underscores the ongoing legal and public health concerns surrounding glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans in 2015, leading to a wave of litigation. The settlement avoids prolonged litigation for many plaintiffs while ensuring accountability for Monsanto, now owned by Bayer AG.
