NeeDoh Toy Explodes Causing Severe Burns | Leeds News

A 12-year-old boy suffered horrific full-dermal burns after a popular squishy toy, a NeeDoh cube, exploded on a sunlit windowsill during a heatwave, spilling hot goo onto his foot. His mother rushed him to the hospital after hearing his scream and seeing blistering and numbness — the injury required a skin graft using tissue from his thigh. Though the toy’s packaging and manufacturer’s website warn against heating or microwaving, the incident occurred under direct sunlight. Lidl, the retailer, confirmed the toy meets safety standards and includes warnings, but the mother is now urging parents to discard these toys, warning that they can burst in warm conditions — a danger she believes should make them unsellable.
