The Food and Drug Administration has issued an update advising consumers that cooking chicken in NyQuil is dangerous and potentially harmful.
references a video that a TikTok user posted at least a year ago that shows him frying two chicken breasts in the cold and flu medicine. In the video, which went viral but appears to have been taken down, the user flips the meat with a flat iron hair straightener.
The TikTok video does not use the word "challenge," and it is unclear whether many people ever attempted to cook chicken in NyQuil.The FDA said that even if a person does not eat the chicken, cooking it in the over-the-counter medicine could cause them to inhale high levels of the drug's vapors. TikTok and Procter & Gamble, the maker of NyQuil, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.
In its update, the FDA urged parents to keep over-the-counter drugs away from children and to discuss with them the dangers of participating in social media trends involving medication.
