We love our Wii. Let me rephrase that. My kids LOVE our Wii, therefore I LOVE our Wii. It’s great for parties,  as well as babysitting the kids and a great overall toy to take away when the kids are bad. But now, I am going to have to take in to consideration the health issues that the Wii can cause.

A friend passed this along and I have been chuckling about it ever since.   From the way this sounds – the Wii’s side effects are as those prescription drug side effects.

I present to you, the complete list of “Health and Safety Precautions” from Nintendo in regards to the Wii.

Seizures
Repetitive Motion Injuries and Eyestrain
Electric Shock
Motion Sickness
Radio Frequency Interference
Laser Device
Console Damage
TV Screen Damage
Battery Leakage

Check out the complete list here

In a related note, my husband did write Nintendo and we scored some silicon grips for free, details here.

Good times.
