A French court ruled that Monsanto was responsible for the farmer's illness after he accidentally inhaled a pair of the now-banned Lasso weed remedy.

The Lyon Court of Appeal ruled in favor of 55-year-old grain farmer Paul Francois on Thursday, April 11. The farmer stated that he began to experience memory loss, headaches and darkening in his eyes after inhaling the vapors while using the product.

The court rejected the appeal of Monsanto on April 9. However, it is still not known how much the chemical company will pay. So far, only the court has ordered the company to pay 50,000 euros for the costs of Francois.

In its decision, the court stated that Monsanto should provide “a notice of the specific dangers of using the product in vats and tanks.” And “The alleged technical knowledge of the plaintiff does not justify the lack of information about the product and its harmful effects - the farmer is not a chemist,” the court added.

Paul Francois is leading a ten-year lawsuit against an American company that has since been acquired by German Bayer as part of a major deal last year. He had already won previous lawsuits against Monsanto in 2012, which was the first such decision in the world against Monsanto in 2015.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Monsanto is facing thousands of lawsuits over exposure of people to the glyphosate-based, best-selling weed control product.
