Zantac Litigation Update
Solution on Page 4
In September 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the drug ranitidine, also known as Zantac, was to be removed from stores throughout the United States. Zantac, which has been used to treat heartburn and stomach ulcers, contains ingredient that form a potentially cancer-causing contaminant called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The Environmental Protection Agency states that NDMA is a potential human carcinogen “based on the induction of tumors in both rodents and nonrodent mammals exposed to NDMA by various routes.” In April 2020, the FDA announced a recall of all Zantac and other ranitidine products from the market, citing “new FDA studies ‘that show a risk to public health.’” Because Zantac/ranitidine can cause certain types of cancer, a number of drug injury lawsuits have been filed across the country. These lawsuits have been filed against the companies that manufactured, distributed, and sold Zantac and generic versions of Zantac containing ranitidine. The plaintiffs allege that these companies knew Zantac/ranitidine formed NDMA, which in turn increased risks of cancer in those who took the drug.
