TikTok trend sparks dangerous mealtime dare: 9-year-old severely burned from microwaving NeeDoh toy
A 9-year-old Illinois boy was severely burned after a TikTok trend led him to microwave a NeeDoh sensory toy. He suffered facial and hand burns and an eye swelling, was treated at Loyola Medicine’s Burn Center, and has since returned home. Loyola notes it’s the fourth NeeDoh-related burn this year, and the toy’s manufacturer warns not to heat or microwave the toy.
