Jenkintown, PA, United States - March 29, 2021 /MM-REB/ —
In a recent podcast on 5 Minute Legal Insights leading mass tort injury lawyer Joseph Fantini revealed how hundreds of thousands of cancer victims could be able to apply for compensation due to a national lawsuit against the makers of Zantac, a heartburn medication that’s been linked to several cancers.

Fantini, of Rosen Injury Lawyers, is the founder of the Zantac Cancer Compensation Program (“ZCCP”), who are presently reaching out to thousands of people to assess their eligibility for compensation. The aim of the program is to lift the weight of the lawsuit off their shoulders so they can focus on their cancer treatment and recovery.
The program evolved out of the April 2020 recalling of ranitidine, the generic version of Zantac by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall was based on part of an ongoing investigation into concerns at the potentially high dosage content of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a known carcinogen, within the drug.
Ongoing tests have revealed Zantac could have 3,000 times more NDMA content than the FDA’s recommended daily dose.
NDMA, which was initially used to manufacture rocket fuel, can cause several types of cancer; the lawsuit focuses on cases of prostate, rectal, colon, breast, kidney, bladder, stomach, liver, pancreatic and esophageal cancers.
Fantini said: “Zantac has been on the market for 30 years, and people would have taken it not only for heartburn but to treat stomach ulcers. It’s fair to say tens of millions of people have used the brand and generic Zantac versions during this period.”
“We are aware of studies, just as the manufacturers, that there were concerns about Zantac for many years. As manufacturers, they were held to be experts in the field, and they have a duty to go above and beyond to make the product safe. But they did not do that.”
“Yet everybody was taking this medication for years, if not decades, in the belief they were safe. In reality, they are very dangerous medications.”
ZCCP had been developed in partnership with leading science and legal experts to enable people to have their cases evaluated at no cost and under no obligation.
“We are working with thousands of people impacted by this medication. But we believe it will run into tens of thousands, and even exceed 100,000 people filing claims related to this,” he added.
As part of the mass tort lawsuit, if someone has one of the cancers listed in the lawsuit and took Zantac for one year or more, they could become a claimant in the case, he explained.
He acknowledged: “We are working with experts who are investigating at least ten cancers linked to this medication. We have proof that we are confident those cancers are linked to that medication, but studies are still ongoing.
“ZCCP aims to go beyond just a person’s lawsuit,” Fantini explained. “We want to lift the weight and stress of this lawsuit off their shoulders and allow them to focus on their treatment and recovery.
“People have been diagnosed with terminal cancer; it is a life-impacting diagnosis that they need to focus on. We work with them and the experts to handle and prove their lawsuit in an efficient manner.
“ZCCP is there to help the ordinary person in the street that doesn’t have the resources to fight these big corporations. These corporations have profited by billions of dollars off the back of these medications and so have a war chest to fight lawsuits.
“But ZCCP has the resources and will do everything to get as much compensation for as many people affected by Zantac as possible. We know how to handle these type of cases.”
