Why do I need an attorney for my case?

If you believe you are part of the Zantac lawsuit, getting an attorney is crucial for several reasons. First, the legal landscape surrounding Zantac litigation is complex, involving federal and state court cases, settlements, and appeals. An experienced attorney can navigate this complexity, ensuring that your case is filed correctly and that you meet all necessary legal deadlines and criteria.

Moreover, an attorney can help gather and present the necessary medical evidence to support your claim. Proving that your cancer or other health issues were caused by Zantac requires expert testimony and scientific data, which a skilled lawyer can effectively compile and argue. This is particularly important since the federal MDL was dismissed partly due to unreliable expert testimony; having a lawyer who can present strong, credible evidence increases your chances of a favorable outcome.

Finally, attorneys can negotiate settlements on your behalf, potentially securing higher compensation than you might achieve on your own. Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Sanofi have already settled thousands of cases, but many remain unresolved. A lawyer can advocate for your best interests, whether through settlement negotiations or taking your case to trial if necessary.

What do I need to know about this lawsuit?

There is currently a Zantac lawsuit because the heartburn medication, which contains the active ingredient ranitidine, has been found to contain high levels of NDMA, a probable human carcinogen. The FDA discovered these unsafe levels in 2019, leading to a market recall in 2020. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim that prolonged use of Zantac caused various cancers, including bladder, stomach, esophageal, liver, and pancreatic cancer.

Many lawsuits were initially grouped together in a federal multi-district litigation (MDL), but in late 2022, a judge dismissed these cases due to unreliable expert testimony. This decision is under appeal, and many plaintiffs are now pursuing their cases in state courts. Several pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer and Sanofi, have settled thousands of these lawsuits to avoid trials, but numerous cases remain unresolved, with significant legal and financial implications for the drug's manufacturers.

The core issue of the Zantac lawsuit is that the drug's manufacturers allegedly failed to warn consumers about the cancer risks associated with NDMA contamination. This failure to disclose critical safety information has led to widespread litigation, with affected individuals seeking compensation for their health issues and suffering.
