Paxil Lawsuit Began Yesterday in Philadelphia

The first Paxil birth defect lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline was scheduled to being yesterday in Philadelphia.  Bloomberg and About Lawsuits have stories on the suit.

However, I have not found any stories confirming that the trial did, in fact, begin yesterday, and GSK has settled other Paxil-related cases.  This trial is the first of several Paxil birth defect suits scheduled in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas for this fall. 

UPDATE:   From the Bloomberg link in the comments, it appears that jury selection did take place yesterday in Philadelphia, and opening arguments will be held today.
