So have you got your Baby Einstein DVD refund yet?
We haven't because after a fit of housecleaning and culling through old toys and clothes last week, my husband threw ours away just before the Disney-owned Baby Einstein company announced the deal.
You qualify if you bought a DVD between June 5, 2004 and Sept. 4, 2009 (and your baby didn't turn out a genius).
Here's the funny thing: you can exchange it for a Baby Einstein CD or a Baby Einstein book. Or $15.99 in cold hard cash. (But why would you do that if you didn't think they worked??)
Click here to read about why Disney capitulated to long-time complaints by advocacy groups about the DVDs featuring music, primary colors, boing-boing sounds and not much talk.
