Groundskeeper Facts

A school groundskeeper spent years mixing and spraying Roundup and was twice soaked to the skin when the equipment failed. When he was diagnosed with terminal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, he sued Monsanto. A San Francisco jury awarded him $289 million in the first-ever Roundup trial - $250 million of it punitive. The day the verdict landed, Bayer lost $14 billion in stock value.
