Cancer Risks Associated with Long-Term Zantac®️ Use
Since the fall of 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been warning consumers about possible cancer risks associated with using Zantac®️ and other ranitidine drugs in the long term, after independent testing revealed unacceptable levels of n-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen. As of April 1, 2020, the FDA has now formally requested a removal of all prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine drugs currently on the market, including name-brand Zantac®️.
Dangerous Defects: How Independent Researchers Saved the Day
In September 2019, an online pharmacy company called Valisure first alerted the FDA to a serious defect in ranitidine, which is widely used to treat heartburn, stomach acid, and ulcers. According to their Citizen Petition, lab testers found that the ranitidine molecule is inherently unstable even when manufactured correctly – and when exposed to elevated temperatures, ranitidine can react with itself to generate dangerous levels of NDMA.
Do I Have a Zantac®️ Lawsuit?
The human body can process low levels of NDMA – which is present in many smoked and grilled meats – but lab rats have been shown to develop cancer with sustained exposure to this toxin. Already, many individuals have taken legal action against the pharmaceutical companies, claiming that Zantac®️ directly contributed to their cancer diagnosis.
At The Ferraro Law Firm, we can help you determine if you have a lawsuit and apply over 30 years of dedicated product liability experience to your case. If you or your loved ones have been diagnosed with cancer after taking Zantac®️, it’s important to speak with a doctor right away and then contact an experienced personal injury attorney to review your legal options.

Through meticulous case preparation, empathetic counsel, and strategic representation, our attorneys build compelling cases that secure meaningful settlements to cover medical expenses, provide financial relief, and offer a path toward stability during difficult times.
To the general public searching for a competent aggressive law firm, I must recommend The Ferraro Law firm. After my first consultation with this firm, it was clear this was the right firm to handle my case.
I had tried a few others but was not impressed. In fact, the others made me feel like just a number. I’m a licensed general contractor with many years of experience. The main thing in my business success is, and has been, communication.
Ferraro Law has given me the very best communication I could ask for. As we all know, things don’t always happen overnight. This is where communication comes in.
My thanks to the Ferraro Law firm for transparency and diligent attention to all the details in my case.
I recommend them highly with a five star rating. 10 if I could.

I had a truly positive experience working with Ferraro Law Firm, especially Berta, who supported me every step of the way. From the beginning, she was kind, patient, and very clear in her communication. She set realistic expectations and checked in with me often, which made a big difference during a time that felt overwhelming in my personal life.
Receiving a settlement sounds like it should be simple, but it can actually be a lot to process. Berta made everything feel manageable. The process of signing documents and receiving my settlement was smooth and stress-free, and I always felt reassured that everything was being handled properly.
What stood out to me the most was how considerate and understanding she was of me as a person, not just a case. As a mother, that meant a lot. I truly felt supported throughout the entire experience.
I’m very grateful for the help I received and would absolutely recommend Ferraro Law Firm to anyone looking for professionalism, guidance, and genuine care during a legal process.
