*Purists may note that the term "class action lawsuit" is redundant. The correct term is simply "class action." You would think that a law firm with the URL "www.classcounsel.com" would know that. Go figure.

In all seriousness, how long do you think it will be before some ambulance chaser trial attorney fashions a product liability class action against Nintendo over damage from hurled Wii controllers?Answer: Not very long —
Green Welling LLP filed a nationwide class action lawsuit on behalf of the owners of the Nintendo Wii against Nintendo of America, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The class action lawsuit arose as result of the defective nature of the Nintendo Wii.Just one problem: Nintendo has already agreed to replace the straps. So a class action* is necessary — um, why (besides to generate fees for Green Welling LLP)?
...
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.
