The first Zantac trial in California is set to begin soon, with jury selection scheduled for next week in Alameda County Superior Court, Oakland. The trial, Russell v. Boehringer Ingelheim, is expected to start on October 7, 2024, and is anticipated to have a significant impact on the future of Zantac lawsuits nationwide.
While many Zantac lawsuits in California have been settled before reaching trial, the defendants appear ready to take their chances with this case. The outcome of this trial will be closely monitored, as it may influence the direction and resolution of thousands of pending Zantac claims across the country.
