Bayer shareholder Deka joins chorus of critics of Monsanto takeover
(FILES) In this file photo taken on March 20, 2019 shows the logo of German chemicals and pharmaceuticals giant Bayer on a wall at the group's coumpound in Berlin. - Monsanto was ordered on March 27, 2019 to pay some $81 million to an American retiree who blames his cancer on the agribusiness giant's weedkiller Roundup. A San Francisco jury found the firm had been "negligent by not using reasonable care" to warn of the risks of its product, ordering it to pay Edwin Hardeman $75 million in punitive damages, $5.6 million in compensation and $200,000 for medical expenses. The same jury previously found that a quarter century exposure to Roundup, whose principal ingredient is controversial chemical glyphosate, was a "substantial factor" in giving the 70-year-old Hardeman non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
