Legal Help for Farmers and Individuals Harmed by Dicamba Exposure

Dicamba is a toxic, volatile herbicide linked to widespread crop destruction and serious health risks. Across the United States, farmers and agricultural workers report devastating losses after dicamba drifted far beyond where it was applied. Even more alarming, emerging scientific research links dicamba exposure to liver and bile duct cancer.

Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP is actively representing individuals and farmers nationwide in dicamba herbicide lawsuits against Monsanto and other manufacturers. If your crops were damaged—or if you or a loved one developed bile duct cancer after dicamba exposure—you may be entitled to financial compensation.

What Is Dicamba?

Dicamba is a selective herbicide used to kill broadleaf weeds. It is found in more than 1,100 agricultural products sold throughout the U.S. Dicamba works by mimicking natural plant hormones (auxins), causing uncontrolled growth that ultimately kills weeds.

Since 2017, dicamba has been approved for over-the-top (OTT) use on genetically engineered soybeans and cotton designed to tolerate it. However, this approval triggered unprecedented off-target damage, as dicamba does not stay where it is sprayed.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, more than one million acres of non-dicamba-tolerant soybeans were allegedly damaged in a single growing season.

Dicamba Drift and Crop Damage

One of the most dangerous aspects of dicamba is its volatility. In heat and humidity, dicamba can evaporate after application and form a vapor cloud that travels miles away—damaging crops that were never sprayed.

Farmers across the Midwest and South have reported dicamba damage to:

  • Soybeans
  • Tomatoes
  • Watermelons and cantaloupes
  • Pumpkins
  • Grapes
  • Tobacco
  • Orchards and vineyards

Many affected farmers never used dicamba at all. Instead, the herbicide drifted from neighboring fields—or even from farms across state lines.

Common Signs of Dicamba Crop Damage

Farmers involved in dicamba lawsuits frequently report:

  • Cupping of leaves
  • Curling or strapping
  • Discoloration
  • Wrinkling or stunting
  • Leaf elongation
  • Twisting or “trumpeting”

Even minimal exposure can cause irreversible economic damage.

Dicamba and Cancer Risk

Dicamba’s harm is not limited to crops.

A recent scientific study found that dicamba exposure is associated with an increased risk of liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. These cancers—collectively known as cholangiocarcinoma—are rare but highly aggressive, with poor long-term survival rates.

Individuals at risk include:

  • Farmers and farm workers
  • Pesticide applicators
  • Agricultural laborers
  • Individuals living near treated fields

If you developed liver bile duct cancer after long-term dicamba exposure, you may qualify for a dicamba cancer lawsuit.

What Is Liver Bile Duct Cancer?

Bile duct cancer begins in the ducts that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. Subtypes include:

  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (inside the liver)
  • Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (outside the liver)
  • Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor)

Survival rates are low, particularly when diagnosed at advanced stages. Many cases are discovered late due to vague early symptoms.

Dicamba Lawsuits Against Monsanto and BASF

Dicamba lawsuits allege that manufacturers—including Monsanto and BASF—knew their dicamba formulations were volatile, prone to drift, and unsafe for their intended use.

Claims allege that these companies:

  • Designed and sold defective dicamba products
  • Failed to adequately test volatility risks
  • Misrepresented safety to farmers and regulators
  • Failed to provide adequate warnings or instructions
  • Prioritized profits over safety

Products named in litigation include XtendiMax, Engenia, and FeXapan.

Dicamba MDL and Litigation History

In February 2018, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized dicamba lawsuits in a federal MDL in the Eastern District of Missouri.

Landmark Verdicts & Settlements

  • $265 million jury verdict against Monsanto and BASF for destruction of Bader Farms’ peach orchard
  • $400 million nationwide settlement for soybean and crop producers harmed by dicamba drift
  • Hundreds of additional cases remain pending or under investigation

These outcomes confirm what farmers have known for years: dicamba causes widespread, foreseeable damage.

EPA Response and Regulatory Action

After record-breaking crop damage reports, the EPA repeatedly amended dicamba regulations and imposed additional restrictions in multiple states, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

Despite these efforts, dicamba damage has continued—highlighting the inherent dangers of the product, even when used “as directed.”
