11/11/2024 All of the following was spontaneously reported by the caller. Caller states she would like to report her experience of cancer of the right breast with product use. The product was verified by name only. She no longer has the product packaging to provide the EPA, UPC or lot number. She used a Roundup product that came with a pump sprayer to treat dandelions in her yard approximately 2010 or 2011, approximately 10-15 applications and approximately 1.5 to 2 months in total. She sprayed the product every weekend and did not wear a mask or gloves. She does not recall any direct exposure to the product. Approximately 2022, she was diagnosed with breast cancer of the right breast. She had surgery of the right breast to remove the cancer and has yearly follow up mammograms to make sure the cancer has not returned. She notes she has been "sickly" ever since. Caller notes cancer does not run in her family and that she was not aware the product was a dangerous chemical giving people cancer. Caller then stated that she had to disconnect because her granddaughter was at her home to give her a bath. She handed her granddaughter the phone who asked what happens after her grandmother reports her experience with the product and gave permission for a callback today at 11:30 am for follow up. I was not able to ask our other routine questions or gather her past medical history due to this. 11/13/2024 Attempted callback to caller and left message with brief reason for call, case number and call back number and that we are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 11/14/2024 Attempted callback. Left detailed message requesting a callback. Case and callback numbers also provided.
Majeure
Company correlation score: 2 (unlikely relationship). While a loose temporal relationship exists between the use of the product and diagnosis an exposure to the product is not known and it is unclear if and how she was being exposed to the product. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concluded that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
