Zantac lawsuits generally apply to individuals who have been diagnosed with certain cancers that may be linked to Zantac use. These cancers include, but may not be limited to:
Those who took Zantac regularly over an extended period (typically six months or more) may have a stronger case, especially if the dosage was high or consistent over time. Over-the-counter and prescription dosages may impact eligibility differently, so it’s helpful to provide a record of usage.
If you meet any of these criteria, consulting with an experienced attorney can help you better understand your eligibility and the next steps for filing a Zantac lawsuit.
The lawsuits claim that Zantac’s manufacturers failed to adequately warn consumers and healthcare providers about the potential cancer risks associated with the medication. It’s alleged that Zantac (ranitidine) could break down into a cancer-causing compound, N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), when stored or metabolized, yet manufacturers did not disclose this risk, putting consumers at serious health risks without their knowledge.
The lawsuits argue that Zantac was defectively designed or manufactured, as its chemical structure made it vulnerable to breaking down into NDMA, especially under certain conditions like high temperatures or prolonged storage. Plaintiffs claim that the product was unsafe by design and that it should not have been available on the market without proper safeguards.
The lawsuits allege that Zantac’s manufacturers were negligent in failing to conduct sufficient testing or monitoring for the risks of NDMA formation and in continuing to market Zantac despite potential red flags. By prioritizing profits over consumer safety, the manufacturers are accused of recklessly disregarding the health and safety of millions who used the drug.
