A THREE-year-old Irish boy has been taken to hospital after a canister of Paw Patrol bath foam “exploded” while he was having a bath.
The little boy was being cared for at Belfast’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children last night.
His aunt posted a picture of the bath foam on Facebook to warn other parents.
She has since told Belfast Live that the tot has “burns to the outside and inside of the body”.
She said on Facebook: “Our nephew was in the bath tonight with this Paw Patrol Foam Soap and it exploded.
“He’s been rushed to the hospital and has to go to the Royal.”
Paw Patrol is an animated TV programme that is broadcast on Nickelodeon and is popular with kids.
It features a group of six rescue dogs, led by a tech-savvy boy named Ryder.
Nickelodeon confirmed that they had heard about the incident and that they were investigating the matter.
But they did not say whether or not the product would be withdrawn from sale.
You can buy the bath foam at a range of high street shops.
A spokesperson for Nickelodeon said: “We are terribly sorry to hear about this dreadful incident and we are gathering more information about the licensed product involved.”
Last week, Toys R Us were forced to recall a toy over dears that babies might choke on it.
While Cath Kidston recalled kids’ drinking bottles after it emerged they could be a choking hazard.
