Nintendo's mass replacing the straps, but let's be honest here. Recall or no recall, they were never meant to be thrown around like wrist-axes (I have a pair.) They're almost exactly like remote controls, if your kid is swinging one around hard enough to send it into or through a major appliance... I can understand losing grip of one, but not some of the stories I've heard of and read about damaging major pieces of equipment with one. Next DISH will be getting sued because an 80-year old customer confused the DISH remote for their Wii controller.
