Bayer AG (BAYN.XE) said Friday that it will comply with a
mediation order from a California judge, but it will continue to
defend its products in court.
California judge Vince Chhabria, who is overseeing the
litigation alleging Bayer's glyphosate-based weedkillers cause
cancer, on Thursday canceled a trial set for late May and ordered
confidential mediation between the company and the plaintiffs'
lawyers.
Bayer said it accepted the order in good faith but reaffirmed
its belief in glyphosate's safety record.
The German chemical and pharmaceutical company said it will
remain focused on defending the products in a series of ongoing
court cases, including appeals and post-trial proceedings.
