A small advocacy group that successfully pushed the Walt Disney Company to offer refunds on a popular series of videos for babies has been evicted from offices at a Boston children’s mental-health center, reports The New York Times.
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood had protested for several years Disney’s marketing of its Baby Einstein videos as educational tools, and last October the company agreed to offer money back to purchasers going back to mid-2004.
In January, the advocacy group was ordered to leave the Harvard-affiliated Judge Baker Children’s Center, which had housed and helped finance it for more than 10 years.
The charity’s leaders contend the group was forced out after Disney contacted officials at the Judge Baker center. Neither the company nor the center would comment to the Times.
