“Perrigo Recalls Ranitidine Tablets Due to Possible N-Nitrosodimethylamine Contamination.” GovInfoNow, updated October 5, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/37783-perrigo-recalls-ranitidine-tablets-due-to-possible-n-nitrosodimethylamine-contamination. Based on FDA recall #D-1014-2020 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-1014-2020%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The tablets may contain N-nitrosodimethylamine, a known carcinogen that can increase cancer risk with prolonged use. This impurity likely arose from a manufacturing process deviation that failed quality controls.
Who’s affected
People who purchased these specific batches of Ranitidine tablets from retailers like CVS, Walgreens, or Leader. Those with long-term use of the medication are at higher risk due to potential cumulative exposure.
