Bayer Statement on Clark Trial

Bayer today released the following statement on the beginning of the Clark Trial in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles:

“We have great sympathy for the sick child, but science sees no connection between the use of glyphosate and cancer. The responsible regulatory authorities have been confirming the safety of glyphosate for years.

“Generally, we are willing to negotiate settlements if this is possible on reasonable terms. However, as part of our five-point plan, we have communicated that we will be more selective since we have filed our petition for review of the Hardeman case with the U.S. Supreme Court. Therefore, there may be further cases going to trial.”
