A video circulating on TikTok is alleging that, a 23-year-old woman died after an electric sex toy she was using malfunctioned.
In the video, presenter Nancy Kyeremeh references a story trending online. According to her narration of the viral claim, the device, which was described as battery-powered, was allegedly in use for about 10 to 15 minutes before it reportedly sparked and led to a medical emergency that required hospitalization.
The presenter describes the account as a “very sad story” and says it has drawn widespread attention in comment sections, where some users have expressed shock and others have made jokes about the incident.
As of the time of publication, there is no police report, hospital report, or credible news report confirming that such an incident occurred.The video itself does not provide a name, location, date, or source for the alleged incident, and shows only generic stock footage of a body on a stretcher alongside studio commentary.
The clip, which carries branding for DOT and HSS and has been republished on Agoo TV platforms, has sparked mixed reactions online.
Some viewers are calling for caution in the use of intimate products, while others are questioning the authenticity of the story.
Health experts generally advise that intimate products should be purchased from reputable sources, used according to manufacturer instructions, and discontinued if there is any sign of overheating, pain or malfunction. Anyone experiencing an adverse event should seek medical attention immediately.
This is not the first time unverified claims about injuries from intimate devices have gone viral on social media without official corroboration.
