The situation will continue to develop and we suggest you monitor our posts below for the most up to date information that will guide you throught your next move.
How it started with the Zantac Lawsuit:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is requesting manufacturers widhdraw all prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) ranitidine drugs from the market immediately. This is the latest step in an ongoing investigation of a contaminant known as N-Nitrozodimethylamine (NDMA) in ranitidine medications (commonly known as the brand name Zantac).
Attorneys immediately started gathering evidence for their case that the amount of NDMA in Zantac did in fact cause cancer in patients that were using the drug. To figure out what's going on with the Zantac Lawsuit you simply have to follow the preceding legal actions and settlements.
How it's going with the Zantac Lawsuit:
Analysts had suggested cases in California, not only the Goetz case, would have cost GSK 'low hundreds of millions' of dollars to settle. GSK (GSK.L) agreed to settle a U.S. lawsuit alleging its discontinued heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer, the British drugmaker said on Friday, preventing the first such case from going to trial next month. The company had said it had reached a confidential deal with California resident James Goetz who alleged he developed bladder cancer from taking the drug. The trial was due to start on July 24, and would have been the first test of how Zantac cancer claims would fare before a jury. The deal could set a precedent for thousands of cases set to go to trial next year.
