00:11contestants to compete in games based on the fictional show for a $4.56 million cash prize.
00:16UK publication The Sun spoke with an unnamed contestant who said multiple people suffered
00:20injuries due to extremely cold temperatures in the studio for the recreation of the original
00:25show's game Red Light, Green Light.
00:27Quote, even if hypothermia kicked in then, people were willing to stay for as long as
00:30possible because a lot of money was on the line, the source explained.
00:34They further claimed the set was like a war zone, and multiple people were getting carried
00:37out by medics.
00:38They said some were crawling by the end, and at least one was carried out on a stretcher.
00:42After the claims were published, Netflix clarified that three people were treated for mild medical
00:47conditions.
00:48They also stated that medics were on set at all times, and proper safety procedures were
00:51taken.
00:52Quote, while it was very cold on set, and participants were prepared for that, any claims
00:55of serious injury are untrue, said Netflix.
