Summary
- A fake squishy toy exploded, causing a four-year-old boy to require hospital care.
- The child suffered vision damage and swollen eyes after the toy's filling contacted them.
- The toy was purchased from an online retailer known for discounted items.
A four-year-old boy required hospital treatment after a fake squishy toy he was playing with exploded. The incident occurred when the child squeezed the toy, causing it to burst and cover his face with a thick, sandy-textured filling. Initially, his eyes appeared normal after washing, but by the following morning, they were severely swollen and he could not open them. His mother rushed him to the hospital, describing the experience as 'horrendous.'
At the hospital, medical professionals flushed water through the child's eyes to balance their pH levels. Although his vision was reportedly damaged, he was given eye drops to treat the condition. The toy was purchased from an online platform that has since removed the product and stated it takes such claims seriously. These types of toys have gained popularity among children through social media platforms.
