Nintendo's 3DS video game system may harm growth of children's eyes.
The Los Angeles Times (12/29, Olivarez-Giles) "Technology" blog reported, "Nintendo's 3DS video game system might be hazardous to the health of children younger than six, according to a warning posted Wednesday on the Japanese video game company's website." A Google translation of the website read, "Vision of children under the age of 6 [is in] the developmental stage."
Bloomberg News (12/30, Yasu, Eki) quotes Nintendo's website as saying, "Looking at 3-D images for a long time may harm the growth of children's eyes."
