A child in southern Australia has been hospitalised after suffering serious burns while attempting to participate in a viral TikTok challenge inspired by the Netflix series Squid Game.
Dalgona is typically sold with a variety of shapes but Squid Game featured four, a triangle, circle, star, and an umbrella.
The game has gone viral on social media, with users attempting to recreate the challenge on TikTok.
Earlier this month, Birmingham Children’s Hospital’s specialist burn centre warned families after it noted a worrying increase in the number of young people suffering injuries after attempting to recreate Squid Game challenges.
