I'm just going to wait until after Wii Fit releases in the US and the first non-athletic fatty gets injured and then sues Nintendo for big money for releasing a dangerous toy that caused a severe injury. Then you'll see it recalled, pulled from the shelves, and you can only get it from those who got it before the lawsuit.

In order for a lawsuit like that to work they would have to prove that Nintendo was negligent with how they designed or built the product and that negligence was what lead to the injury; I haven’t tried the game yet but I don’t think that it is intense enough, or has dangerous moving parts, so I doubt that negligence could ever be demonstrated.

 

Also, if lawsuits were such a huge problem, how do so many fitness products exist on the market? Companies like Bowflex and Nordic Track have been around for decades. I'm sure there is no shortage of people who have been injured using those products which are considerably more complex mechanically.
