If you are one of many parents who bought Disney or Marvel Heroes vitamins or mineral gummy products for your kids, you may be owed a refund.
Charged by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for making false and unsupported claims about the amount of DHA in their products, the manufacturers have agreed to dole out over two million dollars in refunds. Announced Tuesday, the refund stems from a settlement made in December 2010.
The FTC charged NBTY, Inc. and subsidiary companies NatureSmart LLC and Rexall Sundown, Inc. with making “false and unsupported claims that the Disney and Marvel Heroes line of multivitamins contained a significant amount of DHA” and “promoted healthy brain and eye development in children.”
