Feb 25 (Reuters) - Law firms representing nearly 20,000 people ‌who sued Bayer over alleged ‌injuries from its Roundup weedkiller urged ​a Missouri judge on Wednesday to delay reviewing the German company’s proposed $7.25 billion nationwide settlement, ‌arguing that ⁠rushing would violate the rights of tens of ⁠thousands of cancer patients and their families.

In a filing ​in a ​state court ​in St Louis, ‌the firms said the accord should not be fast-tracked for possible preliminary approval on March 4, fifteen days after ‌the proposed settlement ​was announced.

The request ​is the ​first major organized pushback ‌against Bayer’s attempt ​to resolve ​most of the 65,000 remaining Roundup claims in state ​and ‌federal courts.
