A three-year-old boy in Thane near Mumbai narrowly escaped injury after accidentally swallowing two metal wires hidden inside the decorative elements of his birthday cake, prompting his family to raise concerns about food safety and the use of non-edible materials in cakes.
The incident occurred on May 31 during an early birthday celebration for Reyaansh. His family had ordered a bowling-themed cake from a local bakery so relatives could attend the gathering on a Sunday. Excited by the cake's golden bowling pin decorations, the toddler began eating it before anyone realized the decorative pieces contained metal supports.
