About Zantac Cancer Claims
In 2019, the FDA announced that Zantac (ranitidine) and its generic versions contained N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen. This discovery led to a market-wide recall of all ranitidine products in 2020. NDMA can form when ranitidine breaks down, especially when exposed to heat or over time during storage. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers, including GlaxoSmithKline, Boehringer Ingelheim, Sanofi, and Pfizer, knew or should have known about the NDMA contamination but failed to warn consumers about the cancer risks. Many Zantac users who took the medication regularly for heartburn, acid reflux, or GERD have since been diagnosed with various types of cancer, particularly of the digestive system.
