Zantac Lawsuits

Victims across the U.S. are filing lawsuits against Sanofi (the manufacturer of Zantac) and the sellers, makers, and distributors of Zantac and other ranitidine medicines. Studies by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have determined that batches of Zantac contain N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which has been linked to life-threatening conditions like liver cancer.

Victims claim that the makers of Zantac knew that the medicine posed a risk to consumers. But these companies prioritized profits, continuing to sell the drug and failing to warn the public about these dangers.

The FDA has warned that patients who took Zantac for extended periods of time might be at even higher risk, since the concentration of NDMA in Zantac continues to increase the longer the product is stored or when it’s exposed to higher temperatures.

The acceptable level of NDMA is 96 nanograms, according to the FDA. Yet studies found that some ranitidine products contained as much as 34,000 times this acceptable level.

In April 2020, the FDA issued a full official recall of Zantac, citing public health concerns. The FDA advised manufacturers of this drug to stop making the product. It recommended that sellers remove it from the shelves and that consumers throw away any Zantac products they have at home.

Before the FDA recall, doctors prescribed Zantac and other ranitidine drugs more than 15 million times a year to help treat indigestion, heartburn, ulcers, reflux, and other related conditions.
