Zantac Lawsuits and Safety Concerns
Zantac® (ranitidine) was a widely used medication for heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach ulcers. For decades, millions of consumers relied on Zantac for daily relief.
In recent years, independent testing and regulatory investigations revealed that Zantac could contain N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a chemical classified as a probable human carcinogen. NDMA levels in ranitidine products were found to increase over time and when exposed to heat.
As a result, Zantac was removed from the market, and thousands of lawsuits have been filed nationwide.
Carabin Law is reviewing claims from individuals diagnosed with cancer after using Zantac.
