A 7-year-old girl suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma after trying to recreate a NeeDoh trend she had seen on YouTube and TikTok.
Little Scarlett Selby put her NeeDoh, a super stretchy dough filled groovy glob loved by youngsters, into the microwave before freezing it after watching a video of someone doing it.
Unfortunately, the toy exploded, “covering Scarlett’s face and chest with the red-hot goo contents inside the cube,” as per Uniland.
Scarlett’s father, Josh Shelby, heard his daughter’s frantic screams and rushed to her, trying to take off the substance from her face and clothes.
“She’d frozen the NeeDoh cube the night before and the next day she showed me it was rock solid and was playing with it,” the devastated dad said
“She stuck it in the microwave. I was watching her and saw her touch it to check it wasn’t too hot when she pulled it out.
“It all happened so quickly. I heard her scream and it was like a blood-curdling scream. It had exploded all over her chest, mouth and chin.”
