On September 13th, Valisure filed a detailed petition with the Food and Drug Administration asking the agency to recall all products containing ranitidine.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;How in the world is it profitable for an online pharmacy to do this? It&amp;#x27;s great, but honestly who would pay extra to an online pharmacy to do this testing? Would most people even believe an online pharmacy that said that they did such testing? I&amp;#x27;d love to know how they survive.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Zantac’s maker kept quiet about cancer risks for 40 years</title><url>https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/gsk-was-warned-repeatedly-about-zantac-risks-didnt-act-warnings-bloomberg</url></story>
