Claim a Refund or Replacement for a Chantix Recall in a Breeze

According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer accounts for 25% of all cancer diagnoses. Smoking is known to be the leading cause of lung cancer with 9 out of 10 lung cancer diagnoses being attributed to smoking or exposure to cigarette smoke.

Pfizer saved the day by introducing Chantix, a drug that saved many by helping them quit smoking. However, a few of the batches were deemed unsafe and Pfizer issued a voluntary recall. If you own the recalled Chantix tablets, you can claim your Chantix recall within minutes via DoNotPay.

What Happened With the Chantix Recall?

Varenicline is a smoking-cessation drug that was developed by Pfizer and sold under the brand name Chantix. The drug prevents nicotine cravings by blocking nicotine from reaching the brain receptors.

While Chantix's efficacy made it a popular treatment for smokers, Pfizer issued a voluntary recall for the 0.5mg and 1mg tablets over suspicion of carcinogenic effects. According to the FDA report, the tablets were found to contain unacceptable levels of nitrosamine, which is a compound known to increase the risk of cancer with prolonged usage.

At the time of the Chantix recall, several batches of Chantix were distributed across the US and Puerto Rico between June 2019 and June 2021. The FDA reported that there are no immediate risks associated with taking Chantix. The effects of smoking still outweigh those posed by Chantix and patients need to consult with their physician before withdrawing from the drug.

Who Is Eligible for the Chantix Recall?

Any patients, healthcare professionals, or pharmaceutical distributors in possession of Chantix 0.5mg and 1mg tablets are eligible for a recall. The Chantix recall is still open and all you need to do is provide the following:

• A receipt showing proof of purchase
• Your drug's batch number
• The drug's serial number
• Date of manufacture

How Do I Make a Claim for the Chantix Recall?

If you own a recalled batch of Chantix, you can claim a refund or a replacement in one of the following ways:

Do I Immediately Get a Recall if I Report My Product?

If you're experiencing other effects of the drug, you need to file a report with the FDA by filing a Form 3500 on the FDA website. To claim a recall over adverse drug effects, you must provide irrefutable evidence proving the effects of the drug.

An investigation will be launched into your claim and if successful, you'll get compensation. However, it's important to note that the process may take months before any action can be taken in your favor. DoNotPay can help you file a report and make a strong case for you to ensure you get a chance at reimbursement.
