A Missouri judge on Thursday agreed to delay a hearing to consider Bayer's $7.25 billion proposed settlement of cases alleging that its weedkiller Roundup causes cancer, rescheduling an approval hearing for September 14.
The judge had previously scheduled an August 19 hearing to consider approving the settlement, but Bayer's Monsanto unit and plaintiffs' lawyers who support the deal asked for more time.
密苏里州一名法官周四同意推迟举行听证会，审议拜耳提出的 72.5 亿美元和解方案——该方案针对其除草剂 Roundup 致癌的指控，批准听证会改期至 9 月 14 日。
法官此前将批准听证会定于 8 月 19 日举行，但拜耳旗下的孟山都（Monsanto）部门和支持该和解协议的原告律师请求更多时间。
