Caleb Chabolla, a 9-year-old boy from Chicago, Illinois, is recovering at home after suffering second-degree burns to his face and hands while attempting a dangerous social media trend.
He has become the fourth child treated at a local hospital for injuries tied to the same viral behavior.
Caleb was injured on the morning of January 20 while getting ready for school. According to a news release from Loyola Medicine, the child attempted to microwave a NeeDoh Nice Cube, a gel-filled sensory toy, after learning about the trend from a friend.
