Zantac Recall
ZANTAC RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIAL CANCER RISK
On April 1, 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled all prescription and over-the-counter Zantac (Ranitidine) drugs from the market. This was the latest step in a long running investigation related to contaminated Zantac. The FDA determined that the contaminate known as N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) increased over time and when stored at room temperatures may expose consumers to unacceptable levels of NDMA.
NDMA is a known human carcinogen – meaning is could cause cancer. Lawsuits claim that Zantac cause the following types of cancer:
- Bladder Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Esophageal Cancer
- Intestinal Cancer
- Kidney Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Pancreatic Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Uterine or Ovarian Cancer
