A French court in Vienne ruled on July 31, 2025, that a complaint brought by the Grataloup family against Bayer-Monsanto was inadmissible. The family had alleged that their son's severe malformations were caused by the mother's exposure to glyphosate, a herbicide produced by Bayer-Monsanto, during pregnancy. The court found no established link between the glyphosate exposure and the child's disabilities, and consequently, Bayer-Monsanto was not held liable. The family's lawyer announced plans to appeal the decision. This ruling comes amid ongoing scrutiny of glyphosate's safety and its potential health effects.
