What is the deadline in Missouri?
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims (RSMo § 516.120) — significantly longer than any other state in the Zantac pool. The discovery rule applies. Missouri courts use a Daubert-influenced standard for expert testimony. A lawyer can confirm yours.
5 years from date of cancer diagnosis discovery — most favorable SOL in the Zantac claimant pool
Missouri's St. Louis Circuit Court and surrounding jurisdictions have historically been active pharmaceutical and medical device litigation venues. The 5-year SOL is a major strategic advantage for Missouri Zantac claimants.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — the most favorable SOL of any state in the Zantac claimant pool. Missouri's 5-year window means that even claimants diagnosed as early as 2020 may still have timely claims in 2026 if they can establish that their claim falls under Missouri's product liability framework. Missouri's St. Louis courts have extensive experience with pharmaceutical mass tort litigation.
