- The company also said that an arbitration award concerning the U.S. litigation about the heartburn drug Zantac was expected to be rendered sometime in 2023 and at the end of the first quarter at the earliest.
- Sanofi "remains confident in its legal defenses" regarding the litigation.
- In December, the federal Multi-District Litigation court determined insufficient evidence that ranitidine can cause plaintiffs' alleged cancers.

With this settlement, Sanofi is not a defendant in any of the other California cases set for trial in 2023
