By Paul Elias The Associated Press Mon., May 13, 2019 SAN FRANCISCO - A jury on Monday ordered agribusiness giant Monsanto Co. to pay a combined $2.055 billion to a couple claiming that the company’s popular weed killer Roundup Ready caused their cancers. The jury’s verdict is the third such courtroom loss for Monsanto in California since August, but a San Francisco law professor said it’s likely a trial judge or appellate court will significantly reduce the punitive damage award. The state court jury in Oakland concluded that Monsanto’s weed killer caused the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Alva Pilliod and Alberta Pilliod each contracted. Jurors awarded them each $1 billion in punitive damages in addition to a combined $55 million in compensatory damages.

A San Francisco jury last August awarded $289 million to a former golf course greens … [Read more...] about Jury: Monsanto to pay $2 billion in weed killer cancer case

Lance White, a 39-year-old radiologist who flies a few times a year, says he has no plans to board the jets once they do. “I just don’t know there’s anything Boeing could do to re-instill my confidence in this plane,” Mr. White said. The St. Louis resident said he would want to see the jet fly safely for at least five years before he considered boarding one. Convincing passengers about the MAX’s safety will be one of the aviation industry’s toughest consumer-relations challenges in decades. Industry officials expect U.S. regulators may lift the flying ban for the MAX in June, but it increasingly looks like late summer before the planes start flying passengers again. Two MAX crashes within five months of each other, and what some carriers and pilots have … [Read more...] about The MAX could fly again soon. Will passengers get on board?
