A coalition of law firms, including Williams Hart & Boundas LLP, has secured a $7.25 billion settlement class action against Monsanto to resolve thousands of existing and future claims linking Roundup exposure to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The settlement, filed on February 17, 2026, in the City of St. Louis Circuit Court, establishes a structured compensation framework for individuals diagnosed with NHL following exposure to Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicide.
The legal team includes Williams Hart & Boundas, Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel, Motley Rice, Seeger Weiss, and the Holland Law Firm. 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. The U.S. Supreme Court has also accepted an appeal to review the validity of these Roundup claims.
“After years of pressing cases against Monsanto and in light of the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted an appeal to review the validity of these Round-Up claims, we are pleased to achieve a resolution that we believe is acceptable based on the current circumstances,” said John Eddie Williams, Jr., Founding and Managing Partner of Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP.
Under the settlement, Monsanto will fund up to $7.25 billion to compensate a class that includes virtually all existing and certain future Roundup cancer claims. The agreement provides a structured and comprehensive resolution framework for individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma following exposure to the herbicide. Eligible class members have the right to opt out and pursue their claims individually if they choose.

This settlement represents a significant development in the ongoing litigation against Monsanto, offering a path to compensation for thousands of affected individuals while addressing the scientific and legal controversies surrounding glyphosate-based herbicides.
