The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that up to 96 nanograms of NDMA per day can be considered safe. Zantac contains a chemical called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). NDMA causes harm if consumed in larger amounts and is classified as a human carcinogen. With increased exposure to higher temperatures, the amount of NDMA in ranitidine can also scale u,p which then raises concerns about developing cancer. Thus, the risk of developing cancer has been associated with the regular use of Zantac.

Cancer lawsuits claim that the manufacturers sold the drug even after knowing about the dangers of Zantac. Ever since the USFDA confirmed that Zantac contains NDMA, these cases have increased substantially, and the lawsuits claim that manufacturers did not take any steps to avoid the health risks even after knowing about them. They could have used the information to bring necessary changes to the drug or create awareness amongst the users.
