GlaxoSmithKline pay out almost 1 billion to settle lawsuits associated with Paxil

This appeared in the 02/05/10 edition of the Psychiatric News:

GlaxoSmithKline has already paid nearly $1 billion to settle lawsuits regarding its antidepressant drug paroxetine, Bloomberg.com reported last December. Many of these cases involve claims that associated the drug with suicide, addiction, and birth defects.

Paroxetine is the generic name for Paxil.

"nearly a billion dollars"?

Wow......
