After being on the market for nearly 40 years, the makers of Zantac voluntarily recalled the drug in April 2020. Although Zantac’s makers maintain that the drug is safe, they were under pressure from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and various litigants to recall the drug.
The recall itself serves as valuable evidence in many people’s cases. After all, if the drug was truly safe, then the maker would have no reason to recall it. While various heartburn medications are still available on today’s market, Zantac is not.
