Law Office of Jeff Green Actively Investigating Valsartan Usage and Cancer Link

Valsartan is a medication that is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. An investigation into this medication was prompted when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a voluntary recall of the product in July of 2018. Impurities in the manufacturing process of the drug may be linked to consumers diagnosis of cancer.

The FDA indicated that there may be a known human carcinogen, N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) , in some of the batches of Valsartan that were bottled and sold to consumers. Carcinogens are substances that are known to cause cancer.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer after using the drug, Valsaratan for one year or more, you may have a claim against the manufacturer of the drug.

Our firm’s investigation of these claims relates to:

• Stomach Cancer

• Cancer of the Small Intestine

• Colorectal Cancer

• Esophageal Cancer

• Liver Cancer

• Prostate Cancer

• Pancreatic Cancer

• Leukemia

• Non Hodgkins Lymphoma

• Multiple Myeloma

Lawyers Investigating Cases Against the Manufacturer of Zantac

In February 2020, fifteen cases that are Zantac-related were transferred to a court in South Florida. Zantac is a medication that can be prescribed or purchased over the counter and is used for heartburn relief. Consumers are alleging that some batches of the medication were contaminated with a known human-carcinogen. Carcinogens are substances that are known to cause cancer. On April 2, 2020, the FDA requested the removal of Zantac products from the market.

It is early in the litigation so there is a significant amount of discovery to be taken to determine to what extent the manufacturer is liable.

1. If you have used Zantac for at least one year and

2. You were later diagnosed with stomach, liver, or colorectal cancer,

   You may have a claim against the manufacturer.

If you have Zantac or other ranitidine products in your possession, please refer to the FDA instructions on how to dispose of the affected drugs.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer after using Zantac, please contact me at kwaters@jeffgreenlaw.com to discuss your possible claim.
