WHY ARE THERE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS CURRENTLY BEING FILED?
Because of the dangers that have been shown to be caused by those using Zantac, the FDA announced on April 1st, 2020 that all manufacturers were to completely withdraw all prescriptions and over the counter Zantac products immediately from the market. The FDA determined that the dangers of using Zantac are prone to increase over a period of time. They had specifically stated that NDMA is a probable human carcinogen. This means that it has the ability to cause the patient cancer. Since Zantac contains NDMA, this puts all persons who took Zantac at a risk for developing cancer. Since 2019, the FDA has been putting out warnings against Zantac.

All of the consumers who had tatken Zantac took it in good faith thinking it was a safe medicine for them to help their health conditions including acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and heartburn. Zantac is designed to be an anti-ulcer medicine that is used to help treat patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is supposed to block the gagastric acid production in the body. However, the manufacturers and companies who had been selling Zantac never made their consumers aware that their product had a potential link to cause cancer. As a result, there have been many lawsuits being filed against them.
