Home » Mass Torts » Tennessee Zantac Lawsuit

Since the ’80s, studies linked the NDMA in Zantac to cancer. Evidence allegedly indicates that Zantac manufacturers Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim concealed the Zantac cancer link. This occurred as Zantac became the second drug to produce $1 billion in sales. The Tennessee Zantac Lawsuit includes state and federal litigation after the FDA recalled the product due to risks of cancer.

Tennessee Zantac Lawsuit Update

September 2020: Discovery started in the Tennessee Zantac Lawsuits consolidated in the Federal Multi District Litigation (MDL). Both sides ask formal written questions and complete oral depositions in an attempt to obtain evidence. Judge Rosenberg’s scheduling order states the discovery window will last for 18 months. Several orders laid out procedures including a time limit on fact discovery that must conclude by December 2021.

Defendant drug makers will likely file motions to dismiss the case. This is common in large mass tort lawsuits. These motions are rarely granted and as each one is overruled the pressure increases on the antacid drug manufacturers to consider settling all Zantac Lawsuits. As of now, the motions to dismiss under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were due to be filed by August 24, 2020. Defendants have additional time to file other dismissal motions by October 2020.

The current schedule is relatively quick for a mass tort lawsuit, which normally take years to resolve. If taken to trial the case may not be resolved until 2025. The case is in the early innings. It is important to allow our team of trusted personal injury attorneys to investigate your claim. As cases are filed some will be identified as the bellwether cases. These set the stage for damage awards for the entire class. As a recent example a California jury awarded $2 billion to couple in Roundup litigation that was later reduced to $86 million.
