Zantac Litigation in Tucson
Tucson's large retiree and military populations (Davis-Monthan AFB) represent demographics with decades of Zantac use. Retirees who used Zantac through the 1990s–2010s may have strong exposure documentation through Medicare Part D pharmacy records and military TriCare records. Arizona applies Daubert under A.R.E. 702. Tucson-area claimants should consult national plaintiffs' counsel about Delaware Superior Court filing. 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 Tucson Zantac Claimants
Tucson Zantac claimants should gather pharmacy records from Fry's Food & Drug (Kroger), Safeway, Walgreens, and CVS, as well as Medicare Part D prescription records (obtainable through MyMedicare.gov) and military TriCare pharmacy records. UA Cancer Center records documenting bladder, esophageal, stomach, or colorectal cancer are critical. Arizona's 2-year SOL requires prompt legal consultation.
