Friend,

A product we use for lawn care shouldn't put us at risk of developing cancer. But glyphosate -- the main chemical ingredient in Bayer's Roundup weed killer -- has been recognized as a probable cancer agent since 2015.1

Now, Bayer is considering removing glyphosate from residential Roundup products sold in the United States.2 But for Roundup to be truly safe, we can't just replace one toxic chemical with another. That's why we're calling on Bayer to reformulate its product the right way with chemicals that don't pose risks to human health.

Add your name: Tell Bayer to reformulate its glyphosate-based weed killers, including Roundup, with alternatives that are safe for human health.

Six years ago, the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization determined that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic to humans."3

Since then, thousands of people have made legal claims that using Roundup caused their non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In the three cases that have gone to trial, juries have awarded plaintiffs tens of millions of dollars in damages.4

Now, the company is considering removing glyphosate from its line of Roundup weed killers sold for residential use in the U.S.5 If Bayer follows through, it could be a major step in the right direction -- but only if its new weed killer formulas don't put our health at risk.

We're calling on Bayer to not only remove glyphosate from its weed killers, including Roundup, but to reformulate with alternatives that don't pose a risk to human health.

Will you join us in calling on Bayer to reformulate Roundup the right way?

Thank you,

Faye Park
President
