Wrist Straps Used with Controllers for Wii Video Game System
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nintendo of America is replacing wrist straps used with Wii Remote controllers for the Wii video game system. The original wrist straps have cords that can break when consumers swing the controllers with excessive force and accidentally release them, which could allow the controller to strike bystanders or objects. The Wii Remote is a motion-controlled controller shaped like a TV remote that requires hand movement to play games like tennis.
The original wrist strap cords measure 0.6 mm in diameter, while the replacement cords are thicker at 1.0 mm in diameter. Consumers who have affected wrist straps should contact Nintendo of America for a replacement wrist strap.

If consumers swing the hand-held "Wii Remote" game controllers using excessive force and accidentally let go, the cord connecting the controller to the wrist strap can break, potentially causing the controller to strike bystanders or objects.
Consumers should contact the firm for a replacement wrist strap.
The wrist straps are sold with Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we"). Its controller, called the Wii Remote, is shaped like a TV remote. Sensors determine the Wii Remote's position in 3-D space, which means that a tennis swing, for example, is done through movement of a consumer's hand rather than by just fingers and thumbs. The cords on the wrist straps included in this program are 0.6 mm in diameter. The replacement cords are 1.0 mm in diameter (see photo).
