Here\u2019s what comes next<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt was a sound I\u2019d never heard her make before, and she just kept screaming, \u2018Mom!,\u2019 so I went in there, and I didn\u2019t really understand what was going on at first, but she was clearly in a ton of pain,\u201d said Hand, who lives in Atlanta.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Hand quickly realized what happened: Her fifth-grader had put a NeeDoh toy,a viral gel-filled sensory toy, in the microwave to soften it \u2014 something the toymaker explicitly warns against.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            When she took the NeeDoh SplootSplat toy out of the microwave, it exploded, sending the scalding hot liquid inside the toy onto her face and arm.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s so viscous, it\u2019s like glue, and so for it to be boiling hot and on her skin, I started to try to wipe it off, but it was pulling her skin off with it,\u201d Hand said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Hand family\u2019s story is one of many popping up around the country as children have been microwaving the gel-filled sensory toys after seeing the trick on social media videos. Some people have experienced serious burns to their hands, arms, laps and faces.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Dr. Emily Werthman, the manager of the Johns Hopkins Burn Center in Baltimore and a Certified Burn Registered Nurse, estimates she has seen about a dozen such cases recently.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a handful of these cases just in our burn center alone, and if you ask burn centers throughout the country, they will tell you the same thing,\u201d Werthman said. \u201cUnfortunately, those handfuls at every burn center add up to an unfortunately large number of kids who are getting injured.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Hand had not heard of the NeeDoh trend and was not aware that her daughter had been microwaving the toys. The NeeDoh website displays a warning: \u201cNeeDoh products are designed to stay sealed and should not be cut open, eaten, heated, frozen, or microwaved, as misuse can damage the toy and create safety risks.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Paul Weingard, president and CEO of toymaker Schylling, holds a NeeDoh toy.

In a response to CNN, CPSC did not comment on whether it plans to investigate.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe are disappointed to see there has been a trend on social media demonstrating misuse of our NeeDoh\u00ae products,\u201d Meghann Ellis, the chief financial officer of Schylling, said in a statement emailed to CNN.\u201cMisusing a NeeDoh\u00ae product by microwaving, heating, or freezing is dangerous and could cause injury to the consumer.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Ellis said NeeDoh packaging and online listings include safety warnings, and the company is working with social media companies, such as TikTok, to take down content encouraging misuse of its products.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            CNN reached out to TikTok for comment and has not received a response. A search on TikTok for microwaving the NeeDoh toys now brings up a safety warning, not video content.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A YouTube spokesperson told CNN that the company has been monitoring the trend since it first appeared and took action against content that violated its policies. The spokesperson added that content encouraging dangerous or illegal activities is removed, per the company\u2019s harmful or dangerous content policy, and content depicting minors participating in or encouraging unsafe activities is removed under its child safety policy.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A worrisome social media trend\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Dr. Maneesha Agarwal, a pediatric emergency medicine physician and associate professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine, said she has personally taken care of children injured by gel-filled squishy toys, noting that thetrend \u2014 and risks \u2014 extend to any gel-filled sensory toys, not just the NeeDoh brand.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe problem is when it\u2019s a sticky residue, it\u2019s hard to actually get that material off very quickly,\u201d said Agarwal, who works at Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta. \u201cSo, when managing these burns, not only do you have to take care of the burn itself, but you also have to get the residual product off.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            These incidents can range in severity from redness like a sunburn to a fluid-filled blister that leaves scars. Gel can splash onto children\u2019s faces, injuring their skin and eyes, according to Werthman.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5565\">I have arthritis, and these are the Nike walking shoes I wear to comfortably hit 10,000 steps a day<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly painful for these patients, because these types of burns, just by their nature, are very, very painful,\u201d Werthman said. \u201cIt just peels the skin away with it, which is really psychologically disturbing to a little kiddo, if you can imagine.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Dr. Leah Middleberg , a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, has heard stories about NeeDoh-related burns from colleagues going back to about six months ago.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe dangers of these challenges seem pretty obvious to adults, but we always have to remember that, you know, kids have been doing risky things for a long time, but it\u2019s just now these bad ideas really spread wider and faster online,\u201d said Middleberg, who is a member of the Council on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention in the American Academy of Pediatrics.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s nothing new for young people to experiment with dangerous social media trends, Middleberg said. For example, the \u201ccinnamon challenge\u201d \u2014 ingesting a tablespoon of cinnamon with no water, which led to choking and in some cases, lung damage \u2014 was popular around 10 years ago. Other challenges, like the \u201cBenadryl challenge\u201d \u2014 overdosing on the over-the-counter allergy medicine to experience mind-altering effects \u2014 were popular years ago but are picking up new steam in recent months.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe best way is for parents (to keep their kids safe) to kind of decide what online viewing is right for their family, and talk to their kids about what they see online,\u201d Middleberg said. \u201cRemind them that just because they see a video online doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s real and definitely doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s safe.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n<strong>What to do after a burn<\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The best first step in the event of these types of burns, experts say, is to remove the hot gel, which will continue burning the skin, using a clean towel with cool water. The person removing the gel should be careful to avoid touching the gel and burning themselves as well.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Next, it is important to cool the wound with cool running water \u2014 no ice, \u201cno butter, no oil, nothing else on it, just cool water, and then go to the emergency room,\u201d Werthman said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some smaller or less severe burns may not require urgent medical care, but those on the face, hands and lap area warrant a trip to the ER, according to Werthman.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThey can appear kind of superficial looking, but because of the way that it sticks, they end up being a little bit deeper than you think they may be,\u201d Werthman said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After Hand\u2019s daughter was burned, she called their doctor and sent photos of the wound. Their doctor told them that they did not need to go to the ER. They treated it at home with ointment and pain medicine.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Anna Hand's daughter had burns on the side of her face after putting her NeeDoh toy in the microwave.\" class=\"wp-image-5572\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d4055d247188519ee133a9991ce18d0c-768x960.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d4055d247188519ee133a9991ce18d0c-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d4055d247188519ee133a9991ce18d0c-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d4055d247188519ee133a9991ce18d0c.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Anna Hand&#8217;s daughter had burns on the side of her face after putting her NeeDoh toy in the microwave.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Anna Hand<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            But the incident did leave mild scarring on her face and more extreme scarring on her arm.

If parents cannot trust their kids to use products safely, swap them out for different toys.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cParents need to know what their kids are looking at on social media and talk to their kids about (how) not everything on social media is a good idea to copy or to do,\u201d Agarwal said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            For Hand, the whole experience ended up being a lesson in microwave safety for her daughter, who still loves her NeeDoh toys but no longer heats them up in the microwave.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cShe comes and brings me bowls, and she\u2019ll say \u2018Is this bowl microwave safe?\u2019 She checks everything now,\u201d Hand said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5529\">It was supposed to be Trump\u2019s big legislative achievement.
