Three Women Sue Over Paxil Birth Defects In Their Kids

There are about 600 Paxil birth defects lawsuits are already outstanding against GlaxoSmithKline, and now another three women in Texas have sued the drugmaker. They allege that taking Paxil while pregnant led to heart abnormalities in their offspring and that GSK knew of such risks and didn't appropriately warn patients and doctors.

GSK was found liable in a similar case in Pennsylvania in October and was ordered to pay $2.5 million.

Paragraph 29 reads: "While the boy continued to refuse, Curtis spoke to police when he was out of the room. She told them the boy was in counseling, that he had been fighting at school, that he had been prescribed Zoloft and a mood stabilizing medicine. Then, Curtis provided a tearful account of what he said happened."

MARIETTA, Ga. ­ On the Fourth of July, Brittiany Young returned to her car in a Target parking lot and put it in reverse. That's when she noticed the swollen mouth of her 5-week-old daughter, Millan.

Young put the car in park and turned to her cousin, a 12-year-old Tampa boy she had left alone with the baby.
