Zantac® Lawyer in Connecticut
Zantac®, a widely known brand name of the drug ranitidine, is a heartburn medication that has been found to contain dangerous levels of the probable human carcinogen N-Nitrososdimethylamine (NDMA). Independent laboratory testing has revealed the level of NDMA in Zantac® is 3,171 times greater than the FDA’s daily intake limit.

While Zantac® has not officially been recalled, pharmacies in the U.S. have electively begun to pull the drug as well as its generic equivalents from their shelves in an effort to protect the health and safety of U.S. citizens from NDMA, which was categorized as “extremely hazardous” by the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986.
