Revisión de case gratuito / 212-490-5700
Monsanto, la companía creadora del herbicida Roundup, ha sido acusada de no advertir a los usuarios de este producto acerca del riesgo de desarrollar distintas formas de cáncer al usar este producto.
Monsanto es actualmente acusado de ser consciente de este riesgo desde hace más de 30 años, pero intencionalmente tomó la decisión de no advertir al público, e incluso promovió el producto (y continua haciéndolo) afirmando que éste era seguro y no tóxico para seres humanos, mascotas, aves y peces.
Los documentos de litigio demuestran que Monsanto maniobró estudios legítimos que exponían los peligros del glifosato y creó una campaña de desinformación para convencer a las agencias gubernamentales, agricultores y a la población de que su producto era seguro.
Roundup es un conocido herbicida utilizado para matar malezas y hierbas que son poco atractivas o dañan los cultivos. Su principal ingrediente activo y lo que lo convierte en un producto cancerígeno es el glifosato. Monsanto descubrió el uso potencial del glifosato como herbicida en 1970 y comenzó a publicitarlo en 1974.
Doscientos cincuenta millones de libras de glifosato se rocian cada año en cultivos, céspedes, aceras, parques públicos y privados y campos de golf, entre otros. Este número ha ido incrementando en los últimos años debido a la expansión de cultivos modificados genéticamente (OMG) que están diseñados para resistir el poder de los productos de glifosato. Mientras Monsanto ha ganado $ 4.8 mil millones en ingresos de sus ventas de Roundup, muchas personas inocentes se enferman a diario debido a su contacto constante con este herbicida nocivo.
El efecto secundario más grave de la exposición al glifosato (ingrediente principal de Roundup) es la aparición del cáncer, específicamente el linfoma no-Hodgkin, la leucemia, el linfoma de células B y el mieloma múltiple. El linfoma no-Hodgkin ataca el sistema inmune en cualquier parte del cuerpo. Crece en linfocitos que son glóbulos blancos en el sistema inmunológico que son los que ayudan al cuerpo a combatir las enfermedades.
Cánceres relacionados con el Roundup / Glifosato:
Estas enfermedades pueden ser extremadamente dolorosas y tratarlas puede acabar con el ahorro y la jubilación que acumuló a lo largo de toda su vida, ya que a menudo cuestan decenas de miles de dólares y dejan a una familia endeudada. Si bien es común para quienes frecuentemente están expuestos a Roundup en el uso agrícola, nuestra firma está investigando y representando a individuos y familias en los Estados Unidos que han usado este producto en sus alrededores de sus casas, jardines y patios traseros. Las víctimas están expuestas al glifosato al respirarlas mientras pulverizan, mezclan o limpian, o a través del agua potable o comiendo alimentos contaminados con él.
