A federal judge has approved a $2 million settlement in a suit brought by the family of a Lancaster County boy who sustained brain damage when he was 23 months old after swallowing a toxic dose of a prescription antidepressant drug that was dispensed in an "E-Z off" cap. The boy's mother blames the pharmacy, which she said violated a consumer product safety rule that requires all drugs to be dispensed in child-proof containers.

A federal judge has approved a $2 million settlement in a suit brought by the family of a Lancaster County boy who sustained brain damage when he was 23 months old after swallowing a toxic dose of a prescription drug that was dispensed in a non-childproof bottle.
According to the suit, Jayln Ruiz, now 5, suffered seizures and fell into a coma that lasted three weeks after he ingested pills from his great aunt’s prescription for Amoxapine — an antidepressant manufactured by Lederle Labs.
