The Missouri circuit court overseeing Bayer's proposed $7.25 billion Roundup class settlement granted a joint motion from Monsanto and class counsel on August 6, 2026 to reschedule the final approval hearing yet again — this time to September 14, after an earlier move had already pushed it to August 19.
The court said the extra roughly three weeks will give the parties and the settlement's Class Administrator more time to process opt-out revocation requests filed after the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, which limited certain failure-to-warn claims against the company, and to resolve separate challenges over whether some opt-outs were validly filed in the first place.
The underlying settlement terms haven't changed: Bayer's Monsanto unit has proposed paying $7.25 billion to resolve claims that Roundup causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with individual awards expected to range from $10,000 to $165,000 or more depending on the case.
For anyone with a pending or potential Roundup claim, the settlement's continued delays don't change state filing deadlines, which run independently. See Atumio's Roundup case page for a free eligibility review, or start a case review directly.
