9/1/2023 All of the following was spontaneously reported by the caller: He reported the product to be called Round Up, but did not have any further identifying info on it. Caller is reporting that he has bladder cancer that his doctor says is caused by the product. He first started using the original Round up in 1974 to spray for weed control regularly at work. He did lawn care for a living. He guesses he breathed the fumes but denies skin exposures. He got sick with the cancer in 2015. He had most of his bladder removed and had chemo and radiation treatments. He is not in very good health but has no cancer concerns at this time. He is under the care of a doctor. He complains that sometimes he has to go to the bathroom every 15 min. He is calling to inquire on possible compensation and check if the company will do anything.
Major
Although the reporter could not provide product-specific identifying information, the registrant has chosen to report this using the selected product in this report. As the product was not identified, the product was selected according with due diligence, but may not be accurate due to lack of information provided. Company correlation assessment: 1 (Unlikely relationship). While a temporal relationship exists between the use of the product and onset of symptoms an exposure to the product is not known and it is unclear if and how he is being exposed to the product. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) concluded that Glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
