Zantac, a popular heartburn medication, has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including bladder cancer, stomach cancer, and liver cancer. The active ingredient in Zantac, ranitidine, has been found to contain a cancer-causing impurity known as NDMA. In response to these findings, Zantac and its generic equivalents have been pulled from store shelves in multiple countries and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers about the potential risks associated with taking the drug.
If you or a loved one have taken Zantac for heartburn and have since been diagnosed with cancer, you may be entitled to significant compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. There are currently multiple lawsuits underway against the makers of Zantac, alleging that they knew about the risk of cancer associated with the drug but failed to warn consumers.
To determine if you are eligible to file a Zantac lawsuit, it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. Your attorney will review your suit, assess the facts and evidence, and help you understand your legal options. If you have a strong suit, your attorney will work with you to build a strong claim and negotiate with the defendant for a fair settlement.
It is important to act quickly if you believe that you have a claim, as there are time limits on filing a lawsuit. In order to protect your rights and secure the compensation that you deserve, it is best to speak with a Zantac lawyer as soon as possible.
