In April 2020 the FDA asked manufacturers to withdraw all prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine products, including Zantac. Testing showed that NDMA, a contaminant the FDA considers a probable human carcinogen, could build up in ranitidine over time, especially when stored at higher temperatures.
Thousands of people who took Zantac for years and were later diagnosed with cancer filed lawsuits. The cases focused mainly on bladder, stomach, esophageal, pancreatic and liver cancer.
The result: very few new Zantac claims can move forward today.
If you already have a Zantac case, ask your lawyer about its status and any settlement deadlines. If you never filed a claim, it is likely too late in most situations. Every case is different, though, and we will tell you honestly whether you have any options, at no cost.
