A warning is being issued about a dangerous social media trend involving NeeDoh toys. The trend, which originated on TikTok, encourages users to microwave the squishy toys to make them softer. This has resulted in severe burns for at least one teenager.

A 13-year-old boy from Alabama suffered third-degree burns after attempting this trend. His recovery took over four months and required multiple doctor visits. Further details about this incident and the dangers of the trend are available from the source.

The teenager and his family are speaking out to warn others about the risks of participating in this trend.
