If you or someone you know took Zantac, you have likely heard about its recent recall and association with developing cancer. You may have many questions and concerns that our Zantac attorneys can address.

Why was Zantac Recalled?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled Zantac between the fall of 2019 and April 2020. Before they recalled Zantac, a chemical known as N-Nitrosodimethylamine or NDMA was found in multiple samples of this drug. NDMA causes cancer in animals and is also a suspected human carcinogen. Because of this, Zantac's use is linked to cancer diagnoses. To protect Zantac patients from the potential cancer risk, the FDA issued recalls of both Zantac and its generic form ranitidine.

Who is Liable for Zantac Damages?

Zantac damages can include pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and many others, depending on each patient's specific circumstances. It was recently revealed that Zantac's manufacturers knew about NDMA in their product since the late 1970s or early 1980s. As such, manufacturers like multiple Zantac manufacturers, including Boehringer, Sanofi, Chattem, Pfizer, and GSK, could all be liable for the harm they caused those who took their drugs. These manufacturers were negligent as they failed to warn patients about its dangers, nor did they take any steps to remove it from the market.

What is Your Zantac Claim Worth?

The value of your Zantac claim will depend on several factors, such as:

• How long you took Zantac

• The damages specific to your case

• If you were diagnosed with cancer

• The severity of your cancer diagnosis

• The evidence available in your case
