When I first heard of the Wii wrist strap breaking issue (currently sensationalized at Wii Have A Problem), I originally thought Nintendo should be held liable for television damage. I was wrong to come to this conclusion. I also said that the game player in question was using the controller following all safety precautions. I was wrong to come to this conclusion too, as my conclusion was based on an assumption that the person had read the manual (I don't know if he did or not). In any case, after a bit of careful research, I don't think Nintendo is liable on this issue and any potential class action lawsuits regarding the wrist strap should be thrown out.
