The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of the heartburn drug, Zantac®, after low levels of a probable carcinogen known as N-nitrosodimethlylamine (NDMA) was discovered.
Lawsuits have been filed claiming that Sanofi-Aventis, the manufacturer of Zantac®, knew that the drug could produce harmful levels of NDMA after being ingested but failed to warn users. As a result, millions of people unknowingly put themselves at risk of developing various forms of cancer by taking the widely prescribed heartburn medication.
If you have taken Zantac® and are now suffering from bladder, uterus, stomach, kidney, liver, or any other type of cancer, it’s important to know that you have rights and may be entitled to compensation through filing a Zantac® lawsuit.
