Zantac Recalls Due to Cancer Risks: What You Need to Know

Zantac, a widely used medication for heartburn and acid reflux, faced significant scrutiny when the FDA ordered its withdrawal from shelves in April 2020. This decision was prompted by the discovery of unsafe levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable carcinogen, in both Zantac and its over-the-counter counterpart, ranitidine. Studies have linked these medications to various types of cancer, particularly stomach, liver, and bladder cancers. If you or a loved one has been affected, call Herrman & Herrman at (361) 882-4357 for legal support.

Understanding Zantac and NDMA

NDMA is an organic compound that has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals and is considered probably carcinogenic to humans. Research indicates a strong association between NDMA and a wide range of cancers, including liver, throat, lung, stomach, bladder, renal (kidney), leukemia, and lymphoma. These findings have raised serious concerns about the safety of Zantac and other ranitidine products. If you have health concerns related to Zantac, don’t hesitate to contact Herrman & Herrman at (361) 882-4357.

Alternatives to Zantac

If you have been using Zantac or ranitidine for managing heartburn or excess stomach acid, it is crucial to discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider for alternatives. The FDA recommends several safer medications that do not contain NDMA, including Pepcid, Nexium, Tagamet, Prevacid, and Prilosec. These alternatives can effectively alleviate heartburn and manage stomach acid without the associated cancer risks linked to Zantac.

What to Do If You Believe Your Cancer is Linked to Zantac

If you or a loved one has developed cancer that you suspect may be related to Zantac use, you may have legal recourse. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers, including Sanofi, based on the claim that they failed to adequately warn the public about the risks associated with their products. If you are facing significant medical expenses or a diminished quality of life as a result, it is essential to seek the guidance of an experienced personal injury attorney. Call Herrman & Herrman at (361) 882-4357 to discuss your situation and learn how we can help you navigate your legal options.

Recent Developments in Zantac Litigation

As of late 2023, Zantac litigation continues to evolve. Class action lawsuits have emerged in multiple states, including New Jersey, California, Florida, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. These lawsuits focus primarily on negligence, asserting that consumers were not adequately informed about the potential presence of NDMA in the medication. Victims need only to demonstrate that they purchased Zantac without receiving appropriate warnings regarding its risks.

Furthermore, there have been ongoing investigations and studies examining the long-term health impacts of NDMA exposure from Zantac, and more plaintiffs are coming forward as awareness grows. Legal experts predict that these cases could lead to significant settlements, as evidence mounts regarding the manufacturers’ knowledge of the drug’s risks prior to its market withdrawal. If you believe you may have a case, reach out to Herrman & Herrman at (361) 882-4357 for a consultation.

How A Dangerous Drug Attorney Should Handle Dangerous Drug Litigation

Upon taking a defective drug case, we begin a thorough investigation into the injury or death suffered and how the tragedy occurred. “Black box” warning label information on the packaging listing side effects provides a certain amount of protection for the manufacturer. However, additional negative reactions could occur as well. Some clients come to us having taken a drug before any side effects were noted.

Our network of medical experts helps us get to the facts of a defective drug case. Fact-finding cannot only hold manufacturers accountable but also maximize compensation for our clients, putting them on the road to recovery.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:

Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:

  • Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
  • Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
  • Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
  • Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
  • Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
  • Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
  • Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death.
