Baby Einstein DVD refund

Disney was forced to admit that Baby Einstein is not educational for infants, and they were forced to DO something about it.

Offer expires March 4, 2010.

Wow, that seems kind of ... silly. Like people didn't know it wasn't educational beforehand?!

[Jenifer76]

I forgot to say but I am totally sending in four DVDs for the money! LOL!

(We owned most of ours on VHS so I don't think we qualify and they really were worth the 20 minute shower I could get.)

Disney can no longer ADVERTISE them as educational for infants/toddlers. Most parents who buy them believe that they help with baby's brain development. as per this link

Second link?

The problem was they claimed they were educational, when research showed they could actually cause language delays.

"may cause language delays" isn't going to drum up much business!

Didn't know that. I never thought they were educational but my son loved loved loved them so much he flipped himself out of a chair over them. Literally.

My first daughter never cared much for Baby Einstein, but my second daughter and I loved the Santa one.
