A video circulating on TikTok has alleged that a 23-year-old woman died after an electric sex toy she was using reportedly malfunctioned, but the claim remains unverified.
In the video, presenter Nancy Kyeremeh refers to a story trending online, narrating claims that the battery-powered device had been in use for about 10 to 15 minutes before it allegedly sparked and triggered a medical emergency that required hospitalisation.
Describing the alleged incident as a “very sad story”, the presenter says it has attracted significant attention in online comment sections, with some users expressing shock while others have responded with jokes.
However, the video does not identify the woman or provide details about where or when the alleged incident occurred. It also does not cite a police statement, hospital record or independent news report to substantiate the claim.
The clip, which carries DOT and HSS branding and has been republished on Agoo TV platforms, features generic footage of a body on a stretcher alongside studio commentary. The available material does not independently establish that the incident occurred.
The video has generated mixed reactions, with some viewers raising concerns about the safe use of intimate products while others have questioned the authenticity of the story.
As the claim continues to circulate, viewers are urged to treat it cautiously until credible evidence or confirmation from relevant authorities becomes available.
In general, intimate products should be purchased from reputable sources and used according to manufacturers’ instructions.
Any device showing signs of overheating or malfunction should be switched off and discontinued, while anyone experiencing pain or an adverse reaction should seek appropriate medical attention.
