FDA Enacts Recall of All Brand Name Zantac Products

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enacted a recall on all prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine — more commonly known as Zantac — products effective April 1, 2020, requiring that all products be withdrawn from the market immediately.

Zantac belongs to a class of drugs referred to as H2 blockers. Zantac was primarily used to prevent and treat heartburn, acid reflux, and other symptoms caused by excess acid produced in the stomach.

New Findings Reveal Unsafe Levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)

This request from the FDA to immediately recall the drug was based on findings that certain ranitidine products contained N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which has been classified as a likely human carcinogen. Testing has ultimately determined that under certain circumstances NDMA levels in ranitidine products can increase under typical storage conditions. According to recent research, NDMA levels increase significantly when stored at higher temperatures and over time.

Connections have been found between NDMA and certain cancers including:

Bladder Cancer
Kidney (Renal) Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Stomach Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Liver Cancer
And other Cancers

What impressed me most was his ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Matthew genuinely cared about my case and always made time to answer my questions, no matter how small. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:
