May balak umanong magsampa ng kaso ang ilang kalahok ng "Squid Game: The Challenge" matapos daw magtamo ng injuries habang ginagawa ang game.
Kasalukuyang napapanood sa online platform na "Netflix" ang nabanggit na spin-off ng mega hit Korean series na "Squid Game."
Kagaya sa palabas, 456 contestants ang sumali sa kompetisyon upang mapanalunan ang $4.56 million.
Ayon sa ulat ng Manila Bulletin, ilang contestants daw ang nagbabalak na magsampa ng reklamo laban sa "Studio Lambert," ang production company ng nabanggit na show.
Ang mga nabanggit na nagrereklamong kalahok ay kinakatawan umano ng UK-based Express Solicitors, “an award-winning no win no fee law firm specializing in personal injury claims.”
Binanggit din sa nabanggit na ulat ang statement ng isang nagngangalang Daniel Slade mula sa Express Solicitors.
"We have sent letters of claim on behalf of contestants injured in this show. We recognize people may see this as a classic ‘David and Goliath’ battle with the company and its production partners.
“Contestants thought they were taking part in something fun and those injured did not expect to suffer as they did. Now they have been left with injuries after spending time being stuck in painful stress positions in cold temperatures.
“One client describes seeing someone faint, then people shouting for medics. We have a case where someone complains of hypothermia. One had his hands turn purple from the cold.
“Such injuries can have very serious long-term health implications. One of our clients complains of being given ill-fitting clothing despite the cold conditions.
“From what we've been told they pushed the boundaries of safety in the name of entertainment. Production companies need to ensure that health and safety standards on their shows don’t leave people at risk of harm."
Nangangalap pa umano ang Express Solicitors ng ibang complainant na nakaranas ng injury sa nabanggit na spin-off competition show.
Ayon naman sa isang kinatawan ng competition show, habang isinusulat ang artikulong ito ay wala pa silang natatanggap na pormal na pabatid hinggil sa kasong isasampa umano sa kanila.
