Drat, my husband said, we just threw ours away.

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??)
