Baby Einstein Recall?

My dad was telling me about a class action lawsuit against Baby Einstein. I have not gotten to research it myself yet, but from what I heard someone sued the current makers of Baby Einstein ( Disney holds the rights to them now I think). They claimed that the video's claim of being educational is false or overstated.

It says they are giving money back to people who bought the videos or DVD's between 2004 and 2009. I hope people don't take advantage of this buy back. I have three beautiful, smart children and they love the baby Einstein series. They do not claim to make your baby as smart as Albert Einstein, but I believe they do stimulate a child's mind in good ways.

I can not tell you how many objects, concepts, words, languages etc that my kids have picked up from these videos. Many times we will just have them on in the background of our day because the music is nice. Music in and of itself can be good for the brain, so what are these people whining about.

I know a child should not watch "too much" television, but is they are going to watch something these types of videos are way better than some of the shows that are out there. Can I get a class actions suit against shows like Spongebob for making me feel like I lose IQ points when it is on?
