Liability Considerations in Albuquerque
Zantac Litigation in Albuquerque
Albuquerque's federal and military workforce (Kirtland Air Force Base, Sandia National Labs) provides comprehensive pharmacy documentation for Zantac exposure through federal employee health benefit programs and military pharmacy records. New Mexico's 3-year SOL is more favorable than most states. New Mexico applies Daubert under N.M.R.A. 11-702. National plaintiffs' counsel recommend 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 Albuquerque Zantac Claimants
Albuquerque Zantac claimants should gather pharmacy records from Smith's Food & Drug (Kroger), Walgreens, CVS, and federal/military pharmacy programs for FEHB or TriCare enrollees. UNM Cancer Center and Presbyterian records documenting bladder, esophageal, stomach, or colorectal cancer are critical evidence. New Mexico's 3-year SOL provides additional filing time — consult qualified Zantac plaintiffs' counsel promptly.
