Dewayne “Lee” Johnson is a musician and former school groundskeeper who developed terminal Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014 following a workplace accident in which he was drenched in Ranger Pro, a commercial-grade variant of Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup. Johnson sued Monsanto, and in 2018, a California jury awarded him $298 million in damages after they unanimously determined that Monsanto failed to provide warning of the carcinogenic dangers of its product. This figure was later cut back to $20.5 million, which Johnson received in late 2020. Johnson lives with his wife, Araceli, and two children in Napa, California.
