It’s possible that millions of people have been negatively impacted by taking Zantac over the last several decades. If you believe you are one of them, an attorney can help you decide how to pursue fair compensation in your case, including a possible Zantac class-action case.
By now, you’ve probably heard about Zantac and its links to several different types of cancer. If you or someone you love previously took Zantac before it was pulled from the market in April 2020, you might be especially concerned. You will want to discuss these concerns with your physician and with an experienced Chicago Zantac lawyer. You could have rights to compensation for your damages. Many lawsuits are forming now, and your time to act could be limited.
When a group of people has the same or similar injuries stemming from the same product, they can file a class-action lawsuit. These lawsuits are also sometimes referred to as “mass tort litigation” or “multi-district litigation” (MDL). Class action lawsuits make sense when there are several people suffering from the same injuries, all caused by the same product or wrongful action. Often, several small individual injuries aren’t worth filing a lawsuit for. However, by joining their claims together, the potential value of the lawsuit makes it worth it.
Class action lawsuits are also more efficient as they use the same Chicago Zantac attorneys, evidence, witnesses, and other litigation aspects. Zantac class action lawsuits involve multiple plaintiffs who were harmed or whose family members were harmed by taking Zantac. These lawsuits have been filed against multiple Zantac manufacturers, including Boehringer, Sanofi, Chattem, Pfizer, and GSK.
Zantac has been found to contain NDMA, a known carcinogen. Patients who took this medication were negligently exposed to this cancer-causing agent. Zantac’s manufacturers should have warned patients of the risks or previously removed it from the market altogether. Their refusal to do so and negligence has likely caused damages to numerous patients and their families.
People who took Zantac or ranitidine and later developed cancer could have a claim for damages. People who took these medications but did not develop cancer may also have a claim for the money they spent on them. Some Chicago Zantac lawyers are filing individual lawsuits against Zantac’s manufacturers with the hopes that it will set the stage for later negotiations and settlements for more injured individuals and their families.
Whether you or someone you love took Zantac or ranitidine or you simply purchased and used it, you could have a claim for compensation.
