In June of 2004, a class action lawsuit was filed against the makers of Paxil (GlaxoSmithKline) by parents and guardians of children who took Paxil before turning 18 years old.  Clinical studies have shown that Paxil increases suicidal thoughts in adolescents, and these parents/guardians filed suit alleging that this information was known and withheld by the drug company. 

 In 2006, GlaxoSmithKline settled with the parents/guardians for $48 million dollars.  However, the settlement fund expires August 31, 2007, so hurry, claims MUST be received before this date, and c.y.a. send it certified RRR!!!  For more information, please goto www.paxilpayback.org        

Kids who took Paxil anytime after 1992, get a $100.00 refund (without receipt), and total refund with receipts.  

Although the FDA  (Food & Drug Administration) has issued a statement instructing all individuals to throw away Renu Moisture Lock as well as AMO Complete, and discontinue use; it would be best to keep your evidence.  However, while keeping your evidence, take steps to insure that no one can accidentally get into or use these defective products. 

Renu Moisture Lock as well as AMO Complete Contact Solution are contact lens cleaning solutions which have caused fusarium keratitis and ancanthomeoba keratitis, respectively, in some users.  Fusarium is a fungus and keratitis is a disease of the cornea.  The cornea is literally eaten away by the fungus. 

Currently, there are two possible theories as to why these defective products cause/caused disease in so many people.  One theory is that the product itself was manufactured poorly, and left the manufacturing plant contaminated.  (This is why it is so important to save your evidence — so it can be tested at a lab for contamination)  The second theory is that these defective products simply fail to do their jobs of killing fusarium, as all contact lens solutions should kill this fungus.   

Beginning this friday, July 13th 2007, the Texas MDL court in Houston will hear the first wave of Motion for Summary Judgments filed by asbestos Defendants based on the recent Texas Supreme Court decision handed down June 8, 2007 in  Borg-Warner Corp. v.s. Flores (case no. 05-0189).
