- Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY -0.5%) says it has filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to review and reverse court verdicts that awarded damages in which a plaintiff said Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller caused cancer.
- The case concerns a California resident who said his lymphoma was caused by the company's glyphosate-based weedkiller.
- Bayer's move comes after the company last week lost a third appeal in lower courts against verdicts that sided with Roundup users and awarded tens of millions of dollars in damages each.
- Bayer said last month that it would set aside an additional $4.5B in provisions to end Roundup litigation in the event of an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling.
