WHY ARE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS BEING FILED?
Due to the dangers that Zantac has been shown to cause patients that take it, there was announcement issued by the FDA in April of 2020 which said that all products must be withdrawn from the market immediately. This also included any over the counter Zantac products. The FDA found that over a period of time, the dangers of Zantac were prone to increase in a patient. Also stated in the announcement was that Zantac contains NDMA, which is a probable human carcinogen, meaning it has an ability to cause cancer. Due to the fact NDMA is found in Zantac, this puts all consumers of Zantac at a huge risk for developing cancer.

All the consumers who had taken Zantac took it with good faith, believing it was safe for them to take in helping to treat their stomach ulcers, acid reflux, or heartburn.
