Reader PunkRockGeek sent an email to Nintendo about the findings in the Greenpeace report, and a Nintendo customer service rep sent the following response…

We were surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report, given that we take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling, etc. For example, all Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards.

In order to certify that Nintendo products comply with standards for hazardous chemical substances, Nintendo has established the Green Procurement Standards, which require our component suppliers to certify that any parts they deliver do not include hazardous chemical substances, and ensure that Nintendo fully controls its products internally.

We are always actively looking at ways to continue to increase our environmental stewardship and hold this as a corporate priority worldwide. For some additional information on Nintendo of America’s environmental efforts, please visit the following page on our website:

I have to get in touch with someone at Greenpeace to find out the real deal here!
