Disney to Offer Refunds on Baby Einstein Videos
According to The New York Times, The Walt Disney Company is offering refunds for videos purchased between 2004 and 2009 because of claims that said videos did not improve infants’ intelligence and acted as nothing more than a mere video babysitter. The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood lead the charge on this issue and went straight to the Federal Trade Commission with the complaint (and the fact that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 2 not watch TV).
