Not a Recall --Jase 20:09, 21 December 2006 (CST)

Nintendo has stated that the so-called "recall" for the Wii wrist straps is not, in fact, a recall at all, but merely an opportunity for those wary about the strength of their wrist straps to replace them.

If you bought a Wii and are worried that you may now have to send your wrist straps back to Nintendo, don't despair. Nintendo is not recalling any straps, but merely allowing those who wish to have them to get new wrist straps with a thicker strand of fabric at the end.

So, to clarify, Nintendo is merely giving people the option of replacing their Wii straps. I, personally, have ordered three replacements - not because I need them, but hey, I bet these things won't be free forever! ;)

For those wondering the difference between these two Wii wrist straps, here is Nintendo's official image:
