Netflix faces legal trouble from 'Squid Games: The Challenge' contestants

Contestants from the 'Squid Game'-inspired reality show, 'Squid Game: The Challenge', are considering legal action against Netflix and producers, alleging hypothermia and nerve damage from prolonged crouching in cold temperatures during filming.

According to The Guardian, Express Solicitors, a British personal injuries law firm, is representing two players who claim they were unaware of the health risks involved.

As per The Guardian, the allegations focus on the filming of the opening game, Red Light, Green Light, at Cardington Studios in Bedfordshire, during a cold spell in Britain.

As reported by The Guardian, Netflix acknowledged medical treatment for three out of 456 contestants but denied serious injuries.

Contestants assert scenes were filmed in freezing temperatures below 32°F. Revelations include contestants not being compensated for participation, with only one winner out of 456 receiving a $4.56 million cash prize.

Nearly a year post-filming, contestants are seeking compensation for alleged injuries and have threatened legal action against Netflix, though no lawsuits have been filed yet, according to a show spokesperson.
