If you do not qualify for a Zantac cancer lawsuit, you may still qualify for a Zantac class-action lawsuit if you took Zantac and were unaware of the cancer risks associated with the drug.
The Zantac lawsuit is a legal claim filed against the manufacturers of Ranitidine and Zantac for their alleged link to cancer.
NDMA, a known carcinogen, may be the cause of stomach, liver, and bladder cancer after taking Zantac or Ranitidine.
Zantac is the trade name for Ranitidine, a popular heartburn medication that reduces the body’s production of stomach acid.
The medication is commonly used to treat and prevent ulcers of the stomach and intestines as well as:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Peptic ulcer disease
Acid indigestion
Heartburn
Zantac is available both over-the-counter and by prescription.
Ranitidine belongs to the h2 (histamine-2) blockers class of drugs.
Zantac OTC is most commonly used to relieve and prevent heartburn, while the prescription-strength drug is used to prevent more serious ulcers and conditions.
The drug came into commercial use in 1981 and is now the 50th most prescribed medication in the United States.
If you or a loved one previously used Zantac or similar products and were subsequently diagnosed with cancer, you may qualify to file a Zantac lawsuit.

Since the FDA issued a recall of all prescription and over-the-counter versions of Zantac in April 2020, the original drug is no longer available for purchase in the United States.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall of all prescription and over-the-counter versions of Zantac in April 2020 after it was revealed that the popular heartburn medication contained a cancer-causing chemical.
The main injury claimed in Zantac and ranitidine lawsuits is cancer.
The FDA warned that the high levels of NDMA in Zantac posed a “potential cancer risk” to users.
The expected Zantac payout from a Zantac lawsuit would include the total economic damages that you have already incurred, any expected future economic damages, and non-economic damages such as pain & suffering.
Based on current Zantac payout amounts, plaintiffs can expect to receive between $20,000 to $400,000 in Zantac cancer claims and compensation.
However, this range of compensation is not a guarantee, nor is any compensation guaranteed.

The Judge presiding over the Zantac MDL dismissed every claim consolidated in the Southern District of Florida.
Plaintiffs attorneys plan to appeal the decision to dismiss the Zantac Lawsuits.
While this is a major letdown for people who have filed lawsuits claiming Zantac caused their cancer diagnosis, there are other lawsuits pending in courts around the country.

The Zantac litigation is ongoing and lawyers across the country are still accepting new clients and filing claims on their behalf.

The Zantac lawsuit is ongoing and lawyers across the country are still accepting cases.
Cases are continually being added to the federal multidistrict litigation for Zantac (MDL 2924).
In the California Judicial Council Coordinated Proceedings (JCCP) for Zantac, which is the California version of an MDL, cases are being selected for bellwether trials to start in early 2023.
Most recently, defendants filed Daubert motions in an attempt to disqualify plaintiff experts.
Daubert motions are common in product liability lawsuits and are used to challenge scientific validity of experts or evidence.
The disqualification of these experts almost certainly won’t happen due to the strong link between NDMA and cancer, but it will require plaintiffs’ attorneys to challenge the motion and provide sufficient information to the court as to why their selected expert(s) are qualified to testify.
Visit this page for further updates on the Zantac Lawsuit as they come available.
Most recently, plaintiffs lawyers and the defense are deliberating whether to allow an expert to defend their study on NDMA’s link to cancer.
In April, a finalization date was set for short-form complaints against brand-name Ranitidine/Zantac manufacturers and the registry those complaints are contained in.
The registry’s purpose is to organize the litigation, helping to identify which claimants shall be used as bellwether cases and collecting detailed case information to refer to for settlements.
Zantac bellwether trials are scheduled to take place sometime in 2023.
About Zantac and the Zantac Lawsuits
In early 2020 it was revealed that the popular heartburn medication Zantac contained a cancer-causing chemical.
NDMA, scientifically known as N-nitrosodimethylamine, is an organic compound that has been linked to numerous types of cancer including:
Bladder cancer
Pancreatic cancer (pancreatitis)
Stomach cancer
Brain cancer
And other cancers
Research found NDMA in Zantac’s active ingredient, Ranitidine.
These high levels of NDMA put users at a higher risk of cancer.
The FDA acceptable threshold of daily NDMA intake is set at below 100 nanograms. The plaintiffs cited a study that claims that a 150-milligram pill of Zantac contains over 2.5 million nanograms of NDMA.
The judge presiding over the Zantac MDL has dismissed all claims in the Southern District of Florida.
Despite this setback, lawyers are still strategizing legal action against the producers of the drug, and some lawsuits are continuing to be filed in state courts around the country.
We are not accepting new clients at this time, but if you have any questions about the Zantac Lawsuit, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Zantac Contains High Levels of NDMA
Research revealed that the primary active ingredient in Zantac and similar generic products, ranitidine, contains high levels of NDMA, a possible chemical carcinogen.
NDMA, scientifically known as N-nitrosodimethylamine, is an organic compound found at low levels in:
Different foods
Tobacco
Shampoos
Cleaning agents
And other products
Scientists have found high levels of NDMA, according to FDA standards, in multiple pharmaceuticals which have consistently exposed consumers to the chemical.
Manufacturers failed to warn consumers that Zantac contained NDMA, putting consumers at risk of cancer.
FDA Warning – Ranitidine Products Containing NDMA Poses Cancer Risk
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported an advisory on September 13, 2019, after discovering the carcinogenic contaminant NDMA in ranitidine, the active ingredient in Zantac, at levels between 3,000 to 26,000 times higher than FDA approved standards.
These high levels of NDMA put users at a higher risk of cancer.
The FDA acceptable threshold of daily NDMA intake is set at below 100 nanograms.
The plaintiffs cited a study that claims that a 150-milligram pill of Zantac contains over 2.5 million nanograms of NDMA.
Over-the-counter Zantac is typically sold in 150-milligram tablets – the recommended dosage to treat peptic ulcer disease for adults is 300 milligrams a night for four to eight weeks.
Plaintiffs allege that Sanofi and Boehringer Ingleham knew the risks of NDMA formation in ranitidine and did not alert the public through the drug’s label or through any other means.
Several published studies have shown that generic ranitidine users have a 400-fold increase of NDMA concentration in their urine.
The suit attests that had consumers known the risks, they would not have purchased or consumed ranitidine.
9 RANITIDINE PRODUCTS CONTAINING NDMA
These are the nine (9) most common Zantac products and generic Zantac products containing ranitidine:
Zantac 150 Tablets
Zantac 150 Maximum Strength
Zantac 150 Maximum Strength Cool Mint
Zantac 75 Tablets
Wal-Zan 150
Wal-Zan 75
Heartburn Relief
Acid Reducer
Acid Control
Zantac Cancer Risk
Zantac and other ranitidine-containing products may put consumers at risk of a number of adverse health risks including cancer.
After determining the high levels of NDMA to be dangerous to consumers, the FDA called for patients to stop taking ranitidine.
Further, the FDA has requested that the manufacturers recall the product and discontinue production of both Zantac and generic Zantac drugs.
Prior to this decision, some companies such as CVS, Walmart, and Sandoz have chosen to voluntarily suspend the sales of Zantac while waiting for results from ongoing tests and research.
Zantac Litigation - Zantac Cancer Lawsuits vs. Zantac Class-Action Lawsuit
Both class-action lawsuits and civil lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of Zantac.
These are separate types of lawsuits.
It is important that you recognize which legal action is most appropriate for you before pursuing a Zantac lawsuit.
For assistance in determining your best legal action, contact TorHoerman Law for a free, no-obligation case consultation.
Zantac Class-Action Lawsuit
The makers of Zantac, a popular over-the-counter and prescription heartburn medication, are facing a Zantac class-action lawsuit claiming the drug contains unsafe levels of the cancer-causing substance N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
The FDA reported an advisory on September 13, 2019, after discovering the carcinogenic contaminant NDMA in ranitidine, the active ingredient in Zantac, at levels between 3,000 to 26,000 times higher than FDA approved standards.
NDMA is a potential hepatotoxic, and exposure has been linked to numerous complications and symptoms including, but not limited to:
Bladder cancer
Stomach cancer
Liver fibrosis and scarring
Tumors in the liver, kidneys, and lungs
Other symptoms of NDMA exposure include:
Headaches
Fever
Nausea
Jaundice
Vomiting
Abdominal cramps
Enlarged living
Dizziness
Reduced function of the liver, kidneys, and lungs
Plaintiffs accuse drugmakers Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim of manufacturing and marketing a medication they knew, or should have known, to be contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical without disclosing the risks to consumers or the government.
The CAL has been filed against the manufacturers for concealing adverse health risks associated with Zantac that led plaintiffs to suffer serious injury and death.
