Line 31:
The Wii Remote comes with a wrist strap attached to the bottom to ensure the safety of the device. The Wii console actually displays a caution screen upon loading a game to warn the player to use the strap in order to avoid the remote slipping from the grip during erratic movements. Regardless, many people<ref>http://wiihaveaproblem.com</ref> as well as [[IGN]]<ref>http://media.wii.ign.com/articles/745/745202/vid_1742357.html</ref> have reported that the strap tends to break under heavy use, potentially - given that the player doesn't have a good grip on the device and moves it with too much force - sending the remote itself flying into various directions with a powerful force. In response, Nintendo has posted guidelines on proper use of the strap and the Wii Remote. <ref>http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wiiplay.jsp</ref> On December 8, 2006, units with thicker straps began to appear in some areas of the world.<ref>http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/08/jumpin-jinkies-new-wii-straps/</ref> On December 15th 2006, Nintendo denied reports of a Wii wrist strap recall. While Nintendo refuted claims that 3 million straps had been recalled, it will be providing replacement wrist straps free of charge for anyone who has broken theirs.<ref>http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/news_151206_wrist.html</ref> However, the U.S. [[Consumer Product Safety Commission|CPSC]] has become involved in the "replacement program".<ref>http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07061.html</ref> The old 0.6mm diameter strap is replaced by a larger, 1.0mm diameter version.
