When the cancer-causing chemical finally received multiple class-action lawsuits, Monsanto went belly-up and sold the brand to Bayer. Don't ask my why Bayer even wanted it, but there were several delays while the buyer and seller ironed out their liability agreements. What is now being sold as Round-Up (by Bayer) is a different configuration, and hopefully the danger to American users is minimal.
