Attention parents. Have you purchased Disney or Marvel comic-themed vitamins for your kids during the last few years?

If so, you may be eligible for a refund. The Federal Trade Commission says vitamin marketers agreed to pay $2 million to settle charges of making false health claims.

The FTC urges consumers who believe they may have purchased them between May 1, 2008 and September 30, 2010, to file a claim online, or call 866-224-4336 and request a paper claim form in the mail.  Eligible consumers will have until October 12, 2012 to file their claims.
