Delaware judge lets more than 70,000 Zantac lawsuits go forward
==========

A Delaware judge has ruled that more than 70,000 lawsuits over discontinued heartburn drug Zantac can proceed, allowing expert witnesses to testify that the drug may cause cancer. Former Zantac makers GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim had argued that the expert witnesses' opinions lacked scientific support. GSK, Pfizer, and Sanofi disagreed with the decision and plan to appeal, stating that there is no reliable evidence showing Zantac caused cancer. The lawsuits stem from the detection of the cancer-causing chemical NDMA in some Zantac pills in 2019. The U.S. FDA requested the drug be pulled from the market in 2020.
