The Zantac litigation is one of the largest ongoing pharmaceutical mass torts in the country. GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) settled approximately 80,000 state-court claims for roughly $2.2 billion, with disbursements continuing through 2026. Cases against Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, and Sanofi remain in active state-court litigation. If you took Zantac or ranitidine regularly over an extended period and later developed cancer, contact Cellino Law to evaluate your claim.

What Is NDMA and Why Is It Dangerous?
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is classified by the FDA and international health agencies as a probable human carcinogen. It occurs naturally in small amounts in certain foods but is considered dangerous at higher levels of exposure. Studies found that ranitidine breaks down into NDMA under normal conditions — including during storage at room temperature, digestion in the human body, and in food consumed while on the medication. Long-term use at elevated NDMA exposure levels has been associated with increased cancer risk.
Which Cancers Are Linked to Zantac Use?
Lawsuits have focused on cancers that have been the subject of scientific study and alleged causal links to NDMA exposure, including:
- Bladder cancer
- Stomach cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Liver cancer
- Kidney cancer
The specific cancer types included in active litigation may vary depending on the court and defendant. Contact Cellino Law to discuss your specific cancer diagnosis and whether it may be eligible for inclusion in Zantac litigation.
Where Does the Zantac Litigation Stand?
GSK settled approximately 80,000 U.S. state-court Zantac ovarian cancer claims for roughly $2.2 billion in late 2024; disbursements have continued through 2025 and 2026. Sanofi and Pfizer also reached settlement agreements with plaintiff law firms in 2025. Cases against Boehringer Ingelheim — the manufacturer of branded Zantac for the longest continuous period — remain in active state-court litigation, with bellwether trials scheduled in Connecticut state court beginning 2028. The federal MDL in Florida was largely dismissed after a Daubert ruling on expert causation testimony, though appeals are pending. State court litigation is the primary active venue for Zantac cancer claims.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zantac Lawsuits
Is it too late to file a Zantac claim?
New cases continue to be accepted in state court litigation. Statutes of limitations vary by state and run from the date of cancer diagnosis or discovery of the link to Zantac use. Contact Cellino Law immediately to protect your rights.
I took generic ranitidine, not brand-name Zantac. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. The same chemical instability causing NDMA formation is present in all ranitidine-based products regardless of brand. Lawsuits have been filed against both brand-name Zantac manufacturers and generic ranitidine makers. Cellino Law will evaluate which defendants apply to your case.
Does Cellino Law charge upfront fees?
No. Cellino Law handles all Zantac cases on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs and no fees unless we win.
