It's a ridiculous lawsuit. If your child did not become a genius by watching BE videos, you can get your money back.

Yep, it's true. These videos claimed to be "educational" for infants even though the AAP has clearly recommended NO tv for kids under 3 y.o. You can return them for refunds up to $14.99 I believe.

What?  Did someone sue them or something?  If so, that's ridiculous.

Can I return mine because it annoyed the crap out of me, even though my kid loved it?

I'm betting s_angel is going to be all over this. She can buy videos on ebay cheap and return them.

ditto... I mean really.  sure the AAP  suggests no tv before two.. so maybe they should sue the parents, not the BE people.  (insert sarcasm there). 

but I have to say, the BE video we were given as a baby shower gift was crap.  My dd wasn't interested one bit.  we didn't open it until she was 15 months old... maybe it's only for little ones... but I didn't need to sedate her with psychedelic images as an infant.  the bouncey jumparoo and music and books worked for her. I managed to get showers every day and cook.   I still don't get the point of the videos.  I did like some of the books though.

Well, then I guess no money back for me.  I got two genius kids out of the deal
