Zantac Litigation in Mesa / East Valley
Mesa and the East Valley's large retiree communities represent prime Zantac demographics — individuals who used Zantac through the drug's peak years from 1996 to 2020, often with Medicare Part D prescription records documenting decades of ranitidine use. Maricopa County Superior Court applies Arizona Daubert standards under A.R.E. 702. East Valley claimants should consult national plaintiffs' counsel about Delaware Superior Court as the primary filing venue. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed in 2022 after Judge Robin Rosenberg excluded plaintiffs' causation experts under Daubert. However, the Delaware Superior Court under Judge Vivian Medinilla continues to actively hear Zantac cases and has allowed causation experts to proceed. Defendants Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, GSK, and Pfizer are all actively litigating in Delaware. For most claimants, filing in Delaware Superior Court through national plaintiffs' counsel is now the primary path forward.
Resources for Mesa Zantac Claimants
Mesa-area Zantac claimants should obtain Medicare Part D prescription records through MyMedicare.gov if applicable, as well as pharmacy records from Fry's Food & Drug, Walgreens, CVS, and Costco. Banner Desert and Dignity Health cancer records documenting bladder, esophageal, stomach, or colorectal cancer are critical evidence. Arizona's 2-year SOL requires prompt legal consultation.
