Firm ordered to pay $289M to man who got cancer from its chemical
US-based chemical company Monsanto was on Friday ordered to pay $289 million (over â¹1,990 crore) to a 46-year-old former groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, who got cancer from the company's weedkiller 'Roundup'. The jury said the company failed to warn him of the health hazards from exposure. The company faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the US.
