3200 Seroxat claims settled out of court .....then case closed
Glaxo paid an average of about $50,000 per case to resolve about 3,200 claims linking Paxil to addiction problems, the people familiar with the cases said.
In its 2008 annual report, company officials noted they had reached a “conditional settlement agreement†in January 2006 with Paxil users who alleged they suffered withdrawal symptoms after taking the drug. The case, filed in Los Angeles federal court, was marked closed in court records in February.
€œGlaxo did not admit liability†in the addiction settlements, the company’s officials said in a March 2009 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
