Netflix wants people to be careful when performing a Bird Box Challenge. People are blindfolding themselves like Sandra before attempting to complete household challenges like tricycling, shaving one’s head and operating appliances.
Can’t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes.

Netflix released the statement after a parent blindfolded himself and his two kids before walking into a wall..Earlier this week Netflix had claimed over 45 million accounts had watched the movie in its first week.
Took off my blindfold this morning to discover that 45,037,125 Netflix accounts have already watched Bird Box — best first 7 days ever for a Netflix film! pic.twitter.com/uorU3cSzHR
