Yesterday evening Nintendo of America sent out an email to all Wii owners who have registered Wii's on Nintendo's site. The full email is available by clicking the "Read More" button at the bottom of this article. It describes problems/injuries suffered by Wii users (most notably being damage to television screens) caused by improper Wii usage. It also links to this site Nintendo has setup off their main page talking about all the precautions you should take before/during play with your Wii.

Hello,

We hope you are enjoying your Wii. When using the Wii
system, please review this safety information to insure an
enjoyable and safe play experience.

Wear the wrist strap when using the Wii Remote.
Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap
lock is correctly tightened. When sharing the Wii Remote
between multiple players, make sure each person using the
remote properly uses the wrist strap. Wearing the wrist
strap will prevent you from accidentally dropping or
throwing the remote during game play which could damage the
remote or surrounding objects, or cause injury to other
people.

Do not let go of the remote during game play.
For example, in a game like Wii Sports bowling, the ball is
thrown by simply releasing the B Button on the remote, not
by letting go of the remote! Hold the remote securely and
avoid excessive motion during game play. If your hands
become moist, stop and dry your hands. Excessive motion may
cause you to let go of the remote and may break the wrist
strap.

Allow adequate room around you during game play.
Stay at least three (3) feet away from the television. Make
sure objects and other people are out of your range of
movement or arm motion to prevent damage or injury.
