Clearwater Zantac Lawyer - Van Law Firm Injury & Accident Attorneys

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration caused quite a stir on April 1st, 2020, when they announced that they were officially recalling all Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride) products from the national pharmaceutical market. Their decision was fueled by countless studies and experiments that demonstrated how there were absurd amounts of a carcinogenic chemical known as NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) being found in samples of Zantac.

As the fallout from this decision has reverberated across the country, an increasing number of claimants are starting the process of filing suit. At Van Law Firm, our Clearwater Zantac attorneys are actively vetting new cases, so that we may do our part to ensure victims’ compensation. This will likely be one of the largest defective drug cases in history, and we work tirelessly to see that every case is handled properly.

Zantac History and NDMA Discovery

Zantac is a “quick-fix” for a variety of mild stomach issues, such as ulcers, heartburn, acid reflux, and more. Many users take it on an as-needed basis, or include it in a semi-routine regimen for constant coverage. It’s had a lifespan of over 30 years to this point, but patients are only just beginning to understand the full risks of the drug.

Data would suggest that Zantac and NDMA are a match made in heaven, scientifically speaking. What this means is that the ingredients necessary to produce NDMA are pre-formed within the drug’s active ingredient, ranitidine. As the drug sits, ranitidine naturally decomposes as time goes on– the chunks that are left behind then connect with each other and form NDMA. It’s such a perfect coincidence on paper, yet in reality it is extremely hazardous. The FDA’s daily limit for NDMA is 96 nanograms, while almost every notable study has reported Zantac samples containing thousands of nanograms of NDMA per dose.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
