Zantac Litigation in Fort Worth
Fort Worth's Tarrant County District Courts apply Texas Daubert standards under Tex. R. Evid. 702. Fort Worth's industrial workforce — including aviation, rail, and manufacturing sectors — includes many long-term OTC ranitidine users. These claimants often have GI conditions from occupational stress and diet that led to extended Zantac use. Given Texas Daubert challenges, national plaintiffs' counsel recommend evaluating Delaware Superior Court as 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.
