- A 12-year-old Texan boy, Caden Ballard, suffered severe burns after a TikTok experiment involving rubbing alcohol and fire went wrong.
- Caden and his older brother recreated a video, but unknowingly used isopropyl alcohol, which produces an invisible flame.
- Thinking the fire was out, Caden was burned on 11 per cent of his body with second-to-third-degree burns when he attempted to dispose of the bottle.

- Caden is undergoing intensive care and recovery, with his mother urging parents to discuss the dangers of recreating online stunts with their children.
