A woman writing in letter to Bayer CropScience LP (United States) stated the following - Her husband passed away 8 years ago. Her children talk to her about RoundUp Weed Killer and how the children feel that it is not the best but her husband thought it was the best. They have a large driveway and weeds would grow between the Paver's and the husband would spray RoundUp Weed Killer on them and did it for years. She states that he would get shortness of breath while spraying and that he had a diagnosis of lung cancer after going to hospital. Her note discusses that she would like to settle the case.
