Home Shopping Network says it will not take back thousands of dollars in merchandise, including 28 ceramic birds, that a mentally incompetent man purchased with his wife’s credit cards. Robert Nadeau, a disabled Vietnam War veteran who suffered four strokes and brain tumors, telephoned the video shopper and purchased $15,000 worth of merchandise on credit, his wife, Shirley, told the Albany Knickerbocker News. A spokeswoman for the Home Shopping Network in Clearwater, Fla., confirmed the company refused to take back the merchandise, but said its value amounted to only $5,000.
