Wii strapped for cash

The outfit sort of recalled the straps recently and some Wii watchers were wondering why. It turns out that a lawsuit has been filed against the company by lawyers Green Welling.

According to Kotaku, Green Welling want the legal action declared a class action on the basis that documentation supplied with the Wii was incorrect and if followed would result in the the wrist strap breaking and the remote to leave the user's hand. Nintendo's failure to include a remote that is free from defects is in breach of Nintendo's own product warranty, the writ says.

The lawsuit also seeks an injunction that requires Nintendo to correct the defect in the Wii remote and to provide a refund to the purchaser or to replace the defective Wii remote with a Wii remote that functions as it is warranted and intended.
