Bird Box Challenge: even Netflix worries

By launching Bird Box on Dec. 21, Netflix surely did not expect thousands of fans, after watching Susan Bier's movie starring Sandra Bullock, to embark on a new blindfolded challenge at home, in the street and even driving their vehicles.

In response to photos and videos featuring #BirdBoxChallenge on social media, Netflix felt the need to warn before things get out of hand and people get hurt or worse.

We do not know how it started and we appreciate the love [for the film], but girl and boy [the names of the children in the film], we have only one wish in 2019 is that you do not find yourself at the hospital, "wrote the popular broadcast platform on Twitter.
