A dangerous social media trend of microwaving squishy toys has left one girl with “traumatising” burns, a parent has warned.
Charlotte, 42, from Hartcliffe in Bristol, said her daughter Bella, 10, could be scarred for life after she copied the trend and sustained serious facial injuries.
Schools leaders and parents need to be made aware of the trend, which is being shared on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, Charlotte added.
A TikTok spokesperson said any content that promotes dangerous behaviour that may lead to serious injury is a violation of the company’s community guidelines and will be removed.
