UNDERSTANDING THE ZANTAC MASS LAWSUIT
IF IT AFFECTS YOU, GIVE US A CALL Cases filed against corporations on behalf of individuals harmed by their products are called mass tort lawsuits. They’re huge undertakings that can last years due to the number of plaintiffs they include, but they are necessary to hold these corporations accountable for their actions. The most recent one to make headlines is the Zantac lawsuit.
the unstable molecules of the medication break down in the digestive tract to create harmful levels of NDMA, which is listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as carcinogenic. NDMA is even frequently used in research laboratories to induce cancer in rats. The producers of Zantac and other forms of ranitidine were selling huge quantities of a drug that could be linked to cancer of the stomach, intestines, esophagus, and other areas of the body. And the strongest argument plaintiffs have is that Zantac didn’t stop production and sales sooner, despite having knowledge of these potentially harmful effects. They didn’t stop selling the product when NDMA was discovered in it or stop manufacturing it when the Food and Drug Administration issued a public warning. They pulled it from shelves, but it was still available. They had opportunities to protect consumers but ignored all of them. Thousands of Zantac lawsuits will be filed over the next few years, and a Florida judge recently appointed a team of attorneys to begin proceedings. If you’ve used Zantac or ranitidine and believe health problems resulted from it, you may have a case to file. We can help you get in touch with the firms handling these lawsuits, so reach out to us with any questions you might have. If and when a settlement is reached, experts speculate it could be worth billions of dollars. The road might be long but, if successful, could bring justice to many, including you.
