Why are there Valsartan lawsuits?

Valsartan is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. However, in 2018, the FDA issued a recall after discovering that certain batches were contaminated with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) – a known carcinogen linked to several types of cancer.

Investigations revealed that pharmaceutical manufacturers sourced Valsartan’s active ingredient from overseas facilities with poor quality control, leading to prolonged exposure to dangerous impurities. Despite this, drug companies continued selling contaminated Valsartan for years without informing patients of the risks.

As a result, lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers for negligence, failure to warn, and placing profits over patient safety.

Valsartan contamination and cancer risk

NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the FDA, EPA, and the World Health Organization (WHO). Long-term exposure has been linked to multiple cancers, including:

Liver Cancer – NDMA is particularly harmful to the liver, leading to an increased risk of tumors.
Stomach Cancer – NDMA can cause DNA mutations and damage to the stomach lining.
Colorectal Cancer – The digestive tract is highly vulnerable to NDMA’s toxic effects.
Bladder Cancer – NDMA is processed through the kidneys and bladder, increasing cancer risk.
Pancreatic Cancer – Exposure to NDMA is linked to an increased risk of aggressive pancreatic tumors.
Esophageal Cancer – NDMA exposure has been associated with mutations leading to tumors in the esophagus.
Intestinal Cancer – The gastrointestinal system is directly impacted by NDMA contamination, leading to an elevated risk of intestinal cancer.
Certain Blood Cancers – Research suggests a possible link between NDMA exposure and certain types of blood cancers.
Prostate Cancer (if under the age of 65 at the time of diagnosis) – Some studies suggest that NDMA exposure may increase the risk of early-onset prostate cancer in men under 65.

Other health risks include liver disease, kidney damage, and gastrointestinal problems. If you have taken Valsartan and been diagnosed with cancer, it’s critical to explore your legal options. Our dangerous drug attorneys are here to help you find out if you’re eligible for compensation.

Which Valsartan medications were recalled?

Not all Valsartan products were affected, but several major pharmaceutical companies issued recalls for contaminated batches. The following brands and manufacturers have been named in lawsuits:

Valsartan by Major Pharmaceuticals
Valsartan by Teva Pharmaceuticals
Valsartan by Solco Healthcare (Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals)
Valsartan-HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) by various manufacturers

If you took any of these medications, check your prescription history and speak with an attorney from our law firm to determine if you qualify for a claim.

Who can file a Valsartan lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a Valsartan lawsuit if:

You took Valsartan, Valsartan-HCTZ, or a recalled generic version for at least six months.
You were diagnosed with liver, stomach, bladder, colorectal, pancreatic, or another related cancer.
Your cancer diagnosis occurred after prolonged use of Valsartan.

Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, speaking with a product liability attorney can help clarify your legal options.

What compensation is available?

Lawsuits against Valsartan manufacturers seek to recover financial compensation for:

Medical Expenses – Cancer treatments, surgeries, hospital stays, and long-term care.
Lost Wages – Income lost due to treatment or inability to work.
Pain and Suffering – Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
