10-Year-Old Girl Suffers Severe Facial Burns After Microwaving Squishy Toy
A 10-year-old girl from the Gold Coast was left with horrific facial burns when a gel-filled squishy toy she heated in a microwave exploded. She had tried to soften the toy for 30 seconds before squeezing it, only for boiling hot gel to burst onto her face. Her parents rushed her to hospital after seeing her skin peel off and even land in her mouth. Doctors treated her burns for a week at a local university hospital. This is the second child admitted with similar injuries in just one week. Authorities warn against following dangerous social media trends that encourage heating fidget toys.
