Apple is sending letters to eligible customers regarding its recent settlement with the Federal Trade Commission regarding in-app purchases, offering refunds for some instances where children were able to make these purchases without the parents' knowledge or permission. In order to claim their refund, customers will need to find their in-app purchase records, send their request to Apple, and provide details about the purchases. Apple also says that they are introducing new parental controls that will make these purchases more difficult in the future, according to Apple Insider:

What do you think of Apple's handling of this issue? Let us know below in the comments.
