Monsanto RoundUp Concentrate Settlement Notes
- Joshua Rawa, et al. v. Monsanto Company
- Case No. 4:17-cv-01252-AGF
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
In 2017, plaintiff Joshua Rawa and several other named plaintiffs joined together to bring this class action lawsuit against Monsanto, claiming that the company’s RoundUp Concentrate products were falsely advertised as making more spray solution than the products were actually capable of making.
Specifically, the plaintiffs state that Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Concentrate Plus and Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate fail to make the advertise amount of gallons noted on the packaging. Instead, even when following the enclosed instructional pamphlet, the RoundUp Concentrate products only make roughly half of what the label says.
The lawsuit asserts that consumers did get what they paid for and were misled about the actual amount of product the RoundUp Concentrate spray products would make.
Monsanto denies the allegations and any wrongdoing, and the Class’s right to recover anything. Nevertheless, it has agreed to settle the lawsuit for the purpose of avoiding the time and expense of further litigation.
Under the terms of the $21.5 million RoundUp Concentrate settlement, Monsanto will refund customers who submit a valid and timely claim approximately 505 of the weighted average retail price up to 20 units per household. The settlement website further summarizes the terms of the settlement and how Class Members can file a claim. Complete details are provided in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement and other related documents are available on the RoundUp Concentrate Settlement website.
