The Zantac Recall

On April 1st, 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally recalled all Zantac and ranitidine products from the US market because of substantial evidence that the drug contains hazardous levels of the carcinogenic chemical known as N-nitroso dimethylamine, or NDMA.

Tens of thousands of Zantac users who have experienced complications are now coming forward to proceed with legal action. Here at Van Law, our knowledgeable team of Zantac attorneys is currently accepting cases on a personal injury, defective drug, or wrongful death basis.

What You Need to Know About Zantac

Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride) is a prescription heartburn and antacid medication that has been approved by the FDA since 1983. One of the most commercially successful drugs of all time, it is available as a daily tablet, an oral solution (syrup), or an injection. It is commonly prescribed for stomach ulcers, acid reflux, and sour stomach.

In recent years, numerous studies have reported astronomical levels of NDMA in Zantac samples– in some cases over 30,000 times the FDA’s daily limit. The reason for this uptick in NDMA generation is that ranitidine (the active ingredient in Zantac) is unstable, meaning its compounds degrade and break down over time. The byproducts of this degradation then combine to form NDMA, and the process perpetuates repeatedly.

Dangers of Zantac and NDMA

Health agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization (WHO) have classified NDMA as a Group 2A carcinogen, meaning the substance is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” When ingested, NDMA molecules can travel throughout the bloodstream. As a result, Zantac has been linked to the following cancers:

Bladder cancer
Brain cancer
Breast cancer
Esophageal/nasal/throat cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Lung cancer (in non-smokers)
Pancreatic cancer
Prostate cancer
Stomach cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid cancer
Uterine cancer

Zantac Lawsuit Eligibility and Criteria

So far, hundreds of new plaintiffs join in lawsuits each week, and certain guidelines have been established in terms of eligibility. The first half of the criteria are based on the parameters of one’s use.

Potential plaintiffs should consider the following:

You have taken Zantac (or another ranitidine product) on a daily or regular basis for at least 6 months.
You are a U.S. citizen and used Zantac (ranitidine) in the United States.
You have used one or more of the following drugs:

- Zantac prescription
- Zantac over-the-counter
- Generic ranitidine products

You did not primarily use Zantac (ranitidine) in Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and Puerto Rico, or did not primarily live in any of these places.
You used Zantac anytime from 2006 onwards– we may not be able to obtain your medical records prior to 2006.

The second half of the guidelines pertain to the plaintiff’s health and damages. In order to qualify, a patient must have been diagnosed with one of the types of cancer listed above, and the diagnosis must be attributed to Zantac use. Certain pre-existing conditions have been deemed as disqualifying for a Zantac lawsuit– these include hepatitis B and C, H. pylori, and achalasia.

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.
