Where You Can Get Your Money Back for Zantac

You might be able to get your money back at places like:
- Walgreens
- CVS Pharmacy
- Rite Aid
- Walmart
- Target
- Sam’s Club
Your doctor or pharmacist might have more details. Contact them to find out your return options for Zantac. If a retailer does not allow refunds, they might let you replace your Zantac with a similar drug.

Personal Injury Versus Class-Action Zantac Lawsuit
You have two main options in a Zantac lawsuit:
- Personal injury lawsuit
- Class-action lawsuit
You can file a personal injury lawsuit if you suffered an injury from Zantac. For example, you might have stomach cancer after taking Zantac for years. You can sue the manufacturer for your damages.
In a class-action lawsuit, one person represents the rights of a group. You can collect money for what you spent on Zantac in a class-action lawsuit. Even if you do not have cancer, you can get money back for what you paid. A class-action suit tries to hold the manufacturer responsible for not telling you about Zantac’s risks.
Talk to a lawyer if you think you qualify for either type of lawsuit. A Zantac lawyer can help you get started today.
Wrongful Death Zantac Lawsuit
What if a loved one died from cancer after taking Zantac? You might still have a case. Certain family members can sue on behalf of a deceased loved one.
You can seek wrongful death damages like:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Funeral and burial costs

Why People Are Filing Lawsuits Against Zantac
Zantac (generic name ranitidine) is a heartburn drug that many people used for years. However, it is no longer on the market.
In 2019, laboratory results showed there was N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in some Zantac products. NDMA is a possible human carcinogen. In other words, it could cause cancer in humans.
Additional testing showed that:
- The levels of NDMA in a product increased a lot with time.
- Higher than room temperature environments could cause higher NDMA levels.
- The NDMA levels in tests were unacceptable for consumer safety.
The FDA requested a recall of Zantac in April 2020. Before that, many retailers withdrew the drug from their stores. Now, users of Zantac are filing lawsuits for compensation.
The Manufacturer’s Legal Duty
Drug manufacturers must let people know about known product risks. Zantac lawsuits claim that the manufacturer failed to warn everyone about cancer risks. A Zantac lawsuit helps hold the makers responsible for their carelessness.
The price of cancer treatment is enormous. Zantac users who developed cancer from the drug deserve compensation. However, if you just bought Zantac (and do not have a disease), you should still get your money back.
What to Know About Zantac
Zantac is a heartburn medication. It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. Before the recall, you could get Zantac in both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) form.
The generic form of Zantac is ranitidine. If you took Zantac or any type of ranitidine, you might be entitled to money back.
