Bayer AG, a German multinational pharmaceutical company and biomedical company, has filed a complaint with the California Court of Appeals against the decision of the court of first instance to pay $ 78 million in compensation to the school superintendent, who, according to his statement, got cancer due to the use of the company's products - weed control Roundup.

Bayer stated in its appeal statement that there is “no evidence” that glyphosate, a chemical in Roundup and Ranger Pro products, can cause cancer.

According to the company, if the court of appeal does not rule in its favor, it should at least call for a new trial, as a lower court judge prevented jurors from hearing evidence that the US Environmental Protection Agency and foreign regulatory authorities consider glyphosate to be an unlikely concertogen for humans.

The widely used Roundup weed control is made by Monsanto, which Bayer acquired last year for $ 63 billion.

The decision of the first-instance court in the lawsuit against Monsanto led Bayer shares to fall by almost 30 percent of their value before a verdict was issued and, in total, Bayer AG lost 10 percent of its value.
