Paxil Settlement Reaches $64 Million

A $64 million class-action settlement has officially received the OK which means that parents of children who took the antidepressant can start receiving reimbursements. The suit was based upon the allegation that Paxil was not transparent about the possible risks associated with the medication. This ruling means that parents who can prove they purchased GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil or Paxil CR can receive compensation. Even parents who no longer have record of their Paxil purchase can get $100 in a refund, with a provision for a penalty if they are found to be lying. It is important for all parents to know that these claim forms must be filled out by August 31 in order to qualify.
