Parents Who Purchased Paxil for Their Children Are Eligible For A $100 Minimum Refund

Parents who purchased Paxil, a anti-depressant drug manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), for their children are eligible to receive a $100 refund under a recently improved settlement negotiated by a team of lawyers including Chris Coffin of Pendley, Baudin & Coffin, LLP.

"This is an opportunity for people who purchased Paxil for their children to get money back whether they have receipts or not.  If they don't have receipts, they can sign an affidavit and get up to $100 back from the settlement," noted Coffin.

The original settlement only provided for a $15 reimbursement to consumers who could not produce receipts showing they purchased Paxil.  Although the total amount of claims was initially capped at $300,000, the objecting team of lawyers negotiated the removal of that cap in addition to the increased reimbursement.  Removing the cap made more monies available to a larger portion of potential claimants.  Over $40 million dollars is now available for reimbursements.  The new settlement terms are much fairer for consumers who have purchased Paxil for their children.
