Contestants from the hit Netflix show Squid Game: The Challenge are now seeking compensation for alleged injuries they suffered while filming the intense competition. Represented by Express Solicitors, two players have come forward claiming they endured hypothermia and nerve damage during the show.
The injuries were reportedly a result of contestants being forced to remain motionless for hours in freezing temperatures as part of the filming process. Express Solicitors have taken action by sending letters of claim to Studio Lambert, the production company responsible for co-producing the show. These letters outline the contestants’ alleged injuries, which were caused by poor health and safety standards on set.
One of the most challenging activities on the show, the Green Light, Red Light game, has been specifically highlighted as a cause for concern. In this game, players must freeze when a singing doll turns its head. The contestants have complained about the freezing conditions they had to endure during filming. However, a spokesperson for the show has stated that, as of now, no lawsuit has been filed.
The show was filmed at Cardington Studios in Bedford, and Studio Lambert, along with its CEO Stephen Lambert, has been contacted for comment regarding the contestants’ claims. Lambert asserts that player welfare was always taken “terribly seriously” and that the necessary measures were implemented to prepare contestants for the challenging conditions. However, it remains to be seen how these claims will be addressed and whether the contestants will receive any form of compensation for their alleged injuries.
As the popularity of Squid Game continues to rise, with millions of viewers captivated by its thrilling premise, this legal battle has grabbed the attention of fans around the world. The question of whether the show’s production team upheld adequate safety standards remains unresolved, and it is uncertain how this controversy will affect the future of the show and its subsequent seasons.
