I am seeking assistance in this matter. Anyone who has been mislead by Disney or Hedstrom please contact me. If you can assist in any way please let me know. I think it is about time that the big companies stop trying to push around the small companies.

Attn: Hedstrom, Disney

Who is incharge of product development for "Winnie the Pooh Playhouse Stargazer"? I submitted my glow in the dark tent idea to Hedstrom on or around January 2001. They had my tent for eight months and then sent it back to me. Within months of sending my prototype back to me, they had a glow tent on the market with Disney. During my submission I told Hedstrom that a "Disney Winnie the Pooh glow tent would be cool". I need to find out who is responsible for "Stealing" my idea whether it is Hedstrom or Disney or both? I would like to get to the bottom of this and work this out. I also understand that Disney lost a lawsuit for taking someones concept. I hope that this is not a common practice for large companies. This does not look good for a company that survives on selling to an audience of children.

Regards,
Tim Mercer
