Nintendo's announcement follows the December 6 2006class action filed in federal district court in Seattle Washington which requests that the defectiveparts be replaced. It also follows about a month of increasing reports posted on the internet ofdamage and injuries resulting from the defective strap.Green Welling LLP of San Francisco California along with Siebken & Siegele of Austin Texasand Short Cressman & Burgess of Seattle Washington filed the nationwide class actionlawsuit on behalf of the owners of the Nintendo Wii against Nintendo of America Inc. in theU.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The Nintendo Wii game consoleincludes a remote and a wrist strap for the remote. Owners of the Nintendo Wii reported thatwhen they used the Nintendo remote and wrist strap as instructed by the material thataccompanied the Wii console the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the usershand. The fun stops when the Wii remote smashes through the beautiful plasma televisionhanging on the wall or when someone is injured by the flying remote. Nintendos failure toinclude a remote that is free from defects is in breach of Nintendos own product warranty. The class action lawsuit seeks to enjoin Nintendo from continuing its unfair or deceptivebusiness practices as it relates to the Nintendo Wii. The lawsuit also seeks an injunction thatrequires Nintendo to correct the defect in the Wii remote and to provide a refund to the purchaseror to replace the defective Wii remote with a Wii remote that functions as it is warranted andintended.
