Damages pre-approved in Monsanto / Bayer class action lawsuit

After a Missouri judge pre-approved $7.25 billion in damages in a class- action lawsuit, Luneckas Law’s attorney Darin Luneckas shares his expertise on how the legal process for the class cases filed against Monsanto / Bayer will proceed.

Iowans who developed certain cancers tied to exposure to Round Up could benefit from this class action.

Poll of Iowa voters reveals Iowans’ distrust of chemical companies

A statewide poll finds the majority of Iowa voters oppose legislation that would shield pesticide manufacturers from lawsuits. The We Are Iowa report notes that voters know agriculture is important to Iowa’s economy, but are concerned about limiting Iowans’ ability to seek accountability through the courts. Attorney Luneckas explains plaintiffs already carry the burden of proving both exposure and medical causation, and argued that the proposed legislation would take away one of the primary legal avenues available to individuals seeking accountability from pesticide manufacturers.

A bill that would protect an international chemical company over Iowa farmers.

KCRG-TV9 examined proposed Iowa legislation that would protect pesticide manufacturers from failure-to-warn lawsuits involving EPA-approved product labels. This report features an Iowa farmer and Luneckas, a Cedar Rapids personal injury attorney who says the proposal would limit legal options for Iowans diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after Roundup exposure.

Information Regarding the Recent Supreme Court Decision in Bayer’s Favor

In June of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that impacts Roundup cancer lawsuits. In a 7-2 ruling, the Court ruled that federal pesticide labeling law preempts state law claims that Bayer and Monsanto failed to warn consumers about potential cancer risks associated with Roundup.

However, it’s important to note that the Court did not decide whether glyphosate causes cancer. The ruling only addressed a legal question about whether state courts can require warning labels in addition to what was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In Iowa we face one of the highest rates of new cancer diagnoses in the nation. We also rank as one of the country’s largest users of glyphosate herbicides like Roundup.

Researchers are currently studying environmental exposures (including pesticides) and their possible impact on Iowa’s high cancer rates, but no single cause has been identified yet. Scientific studies on glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are part of those ongoing scientific studies.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after years of Roundup exposure, we don’t believe this court decision eliminates your legal rights. The Supreme Court’s opinion addressed just one category of legal claims. Nationwide, attorneys like Darin Luneckas are evaluating how the ruling affects pending and future cases.
