Does Zantac Cause Cancer?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

The popular antacid drug, Zantac, was widely used across the U.S. over the years to treat heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, GERD, and erosive esophagitis. However, in recent years, many regular Zantac users began to develop serious medical conditions, including several types of cancers.

It was later discovered that certain ingredients used to create Zantac were known or suspected carcinogens. As a result of this negligence, numerous individuals who used Zantac and may have become sick could be entitled to financial compensation.

Continue reading to learn more about the Zantac cancer lawsuit, the types of cancer patients developed, how you’ll know whether you have grounds for a civil claim, and what to do if you are only just learning of the dangerousness of Zantac. A Salt Lake City personal injury lawyer is ready to help you on the road to recovery.

Utah Cancer Patients and the Zantac Recall

In October 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers that ranitidine products, including Zantac, may have been contaminated with high levels of a chemical called N- nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). NDMA is a carcinogenic chemical that has been linked to a wide variety of different types of cancers, some of which include:

Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Bladder cancer
Testicular cancer
Multiple myeloma
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Liver cancer
Lung cancer
Leukemia

These are only a couple of the types of cancers that could have been caused by consumption of NDMA, ranitidine, and Zantac products. You should reach out to your physician and a qualified personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options.

Do You Have Grounds For a Zantac Cancer Lawsuit in Utah?

At first glance, it may be difficult to tell whether you have grounds for a Zantac-related civil claim after being diagnosed with cancer. After all, your lawyer must show the court that your consumption of Zantac was directly responsible for causing your cancer.

But if you took Zantac for any length of time and subsequently were diagnosed with cancer, you may have a cause for recourse. A respected Utah Zantac cancer lawyer will need to review the evidence in your case to determine whether you can move forward with your lawsuit.

Zantac Cancer Warning

Is this your first time hearing that the use of Zantac has been tied to the development of certain types of cancers? If you took Zantac before it was pulled off the shelves and are unsure whether the drug caused your illness, you need exceptional legal representation.

You may be able to pursue a lawsuit seeking maximum compensation for your suffering, including your lost income, diminished earning capacity, medical expenses and equipment, and other financial, psychological, emotional, and other physical damages.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
