**London, UK** – A gender reveal party in the UK took a frightening turn when a dry ice smoke bomb filled a home with thick, disorienting smoke, leaving guests coughing and struggling to breathe. The incident, captured on TikTok by expectant mother Amy Hamer (31), a fashion influencer, has gone viral, accumulating over 5.2 million views.
The video shows the initial excitement as Hamer and her husband, Brad, ignite the smoke bomb, revealing pink smoke to signify a baby girl. However, the celebratory mood quickly soured as the smoke rapidly spread, engulfing the room and causing guests to shout in panic and struggle for air. Hamer’s warning in the video caption, “This is your sign to NOT do a dry ice gender reveal inside your beautiful home,” underscores the dangers.
This incident follows a string of gender reveal mishaps. Earlier this year, a gender reveal in Brazil resulted in a man narrowly escaping serious injury from an exploding blue fireball. Another viral video showed a woman accidentally hit in the face with blue paint. In a more serious incident in 2021, a New Hampshire man faced charges after a Tannerite explosion during a gender reveal caused a blast felt miles away.
Experts continue to warn of the potential dangers associated with elaborate gender reveal stunts, urging expectant parents to prioritize safety over spectacle. Hamer’s experience serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable risks involved in such events.
