14 DAY TRIAL // Looks like some are trying to make money out of everything. Greem Welling LLP filed a nationwide (US nation that is) class action lawsuit on behalf of the owners of the Nintendo Wii game console.
As lawsuits are a tricky business and I don't want to get sued myself, these are the exact words on classcounsel.com: "The class action lawsuit arose as result of the defective nature of the Nintendo Wii. In particular, the Nintendo Wii game console includes a remote and a wrist strap for the remote. Owners of the Nintendo Wii reported that when they used the Nintendo remote and wrist strap, as instructed by the material that accompanied the Wii console, the wrist strap broke and caused 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 class action lawsuit seeks to enjoin Nintendo from continuing its unfair or deceptive business practices as it relates to the Nintendo Wii.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."
So, let me see if I get this straight. Nintendo is getting sued for a piece of string? Although a lawsuit is a very serious thing, I can't help laughing. Please don't get mad at me Nintendo fanboys. I feel your breaking Wii straps' pain. I feel for you broken HDTV and lamp, I feel?
