Squid Game: The Challenge are threatening a legal challenge against Netflix, claiming that they sustained injuries during the filming of the show.Two players, who have not been named, say they suffered hypothermia and nerve damage while shooting the series in the Cardington Studios, a former Royal Air Force base in Bedford, UK.As reported by Deadline, the British personal injuries law firm Express Solicitors have sent letters of claim to Studio Lambert, the co-producers of the show, as well as Netflix.
They say their clients risked their health by having to stay motionless during the ‘Red Light, Green Light’ game, in which players must avoid being seen moving by a robotic doll.Daniel Slade, CEO of the law firm, said: “We recognise 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.”A spokesperson for Squid Game: The Challenge said: “No lawsuit has been filed by any of the Squid Game contestants.
We take the welfare of our contestants extremely seriously.”In the original fictional series, players participated in challenges based on children’s games in a bid to take home a $4.56million cash prize.
