If you managed to get your hands on a Wii at launch or shortly thereafter, you may be endangering your family, pets, big-screen TV or any expensive vases that may be near your console gaming activities. Due to the frenetic manner in which the Wii-mote can be wielded, the flimsy wrist strap that's provided might snap, causing all manner of damage. In fact, this has happened in a few cases already (primarily damaging TVs), so Nintendo is recalling the straps, offering a heavier duty version that shouldn't give way even if you get out of hand with your Wii-mote. Systems sold since December 11 and Wii-motes sold after December 18 should have the bigger, more secure strap, but you can check online to see which one you have and order a free replacement if needed...
