Zantac (Ranitidine) Products Liability Litigation

Connecticut Zantac (Ranitidine) Lawsuit Attorneys

Cancer Diagnoses Linked to NDMA Contamination

For decades, Zantac was one of the most commonly used heartburn and acid reflux medications in the United States, taken by millions of people to manage everyday digestive symptoms. In April 2020, however, the FDA pulled Zantac and other ranitidine products off the market after determining that the active ingredient could form NDMA, a probable human carcinogen, leading to widespread concerns about cancer risk. At BBB Attorneys, we understand the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis linked to a medication patients trusted for years, and we are committed to helping affected individuals throughout Connecticut pursue accountability and compensation from the pharmaceutical manufacturers responsible.


The Zantac lawsuits allege that the manufacturers, including Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and others, knew or should have known about the risk of NDMA formation but failed to warn patients and healthcare providers. Plaintiffs claim that long-term use of Zantac caused them to develop bladder, stomach, esophageal, liver, pancreatic, and other cancers. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers, and the litigation continues to grow as more former users come forward with cancer diagnoses. If you or a loved one developed cancer after taking Zantac, BBB Attorneys is prepared to help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

How Is Zantac Linked to Cancer?

The claims involving Zantac center on allegations that the medication's active ingredient, ranitidine, can form NDMA in the stomach, significantly increasing the risk of cancer for long-term users. Many patients took Zantac daily for years or decades to manage common digestive symptoms, often without any indication that the medication could cause cancer. Lawsuits allege that the manufacturers concealed or failed to disclose the known risks associated with NDMA formation, and that they continued to sell the medication despite mounting evidence of contamination.


Some of the most common cancers linked to Zantac use include:

  • Bladder cancer
  • Gastric or stomach cancer
  • Esophageal cancer
  • Liver cancer
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Prostate cancer

A cancer diagnosis linked to Zantac use can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating for victims and their families. Many individuals face years of intensive treatment including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and ongoing medical care, often resulting in significant medical bills, lost wages, and dramatic changes to quality of life. Cancers linked to NDMA exposure, such as pancreatic and esophageal cancer, are often aggressive and difficult to treat, leading to challenging outcomes for patients and their loved ones. BBB Attorneys understands the seriousness of these injuries and is committed to helping affected individuals and families pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by Zantac use.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS

What is Zantac?
Zantac, known by the generic name ranitidine, was a widely used antihistamine and antacid medication prescribed and sold over the counter to treat heartburn, acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. In April 2020, the FDA pulled Zantac and other ranitidine products off the market after determining that the medication's active ingredient could form nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen linked to multiple types of cancer. The recall affected millions of patients who had taken Zantac for years or decades.
What are the Zantac lawsuits about?
The Zantac lawsuits involve allegations that the medication's active ingredient, ranitidine, can form NDMA in the stomach, leading to an increased risk of cancer. Plaintiffs claim that the manufacturers, including Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and others, knew or should have known about the dangers of NDMA contamination but failed to warn patients and healthcare providers. Hundreds of individuals have filed Zantac claims alleging that long-term use of the medication caused them to develop cancer.
What cancers are linked to Zantac use?
Zantac use has been linked to several types of cancer, including bladder cancer, gastric or stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The cancer-causing impurity NDMA has also been associated with other cancers including kidney cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer. Long-term and high-dose Zantac users may face the greatest risk of developing cancer linked to NDMA exposure from the medication.
Who may qualify for a Zantac lawsuit?
Individuals may qualify for a Zantac lawsuit if they took Zantac or another ranitidine-based medication and subsequently developed bladder, stomach, esophageal, liver, pancreatic, or another cancer linked to NDMA exposure. Eligibility depends on the duration and frequency of Zantac use, the type of cancer diagnosed, and supporting medical evidence. BBB Attorneys provides a complimentary case review to evaluate eligibility and determine the strongest legal options available.
What compensation can Zantac victims recover?
Zantac lawsuit victims may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, cancer treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other related damages. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also pursue damages including funeral costs and loss of companionship. In cases involving particularly egregious corporate conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
