From Jefferson Co., Ala.: A warning is being issued about a dangerous social media trend involving microwaving NeeDoh toys. The trend, which originated on TikTok, encourages users to heat up the squishy toys to make them softer. However, this can have severe consequences, as seen in the case of a 13-year-old boy from Alabama who suffered third-degree burns after attempting the trend.

The boy, who was 11 at the time, experienced full-thickness burns on his neck and chest after the toy exploded. His recovery took over four months and required multiple doctor visits.

Further details about this incident are available from the source, including the boy's warning to others about the dangers of this trend.
