In three glyphosate-related verdicts against Bayer in California in 2018 and 2019, the German company was supposed to pay around 2.4 billion U.S. dollars. However, the amount was reduced later due to several reasons, so that Bayer actually paid around 140 million U.S. dollars. In June 2020, Bayer agreed to a final payment of some 10 billion U.S. dollars to resolve most of remaining U.S. lawsuits as well as to adress potential future ones. One year later, in July 2021, the company announced to add another 4.5 billion for future claims. Bayer stated it would be working on replacing glyphosate-based products starting in 2023 for U.S. residential customers. Juries from Missouri and Pennsylvania ordered Bayer-Monsanto to pay again billions of dollars at end-2023 and early 2024, respectively. As of March 2024, there were still over 50,000 glyphosate (Roundup) lawsuits to be settled.
