A Pittsburgh-area school district is warning kids not to stick objects in the ports of their Chromebooks, saying the dangerous TikTok trend poses a serious safety hazard.

A new trend among young students circulating on TikTok is prompting warnings from local fire officials and school districts across the U.S., including here in Missouri, as well as Springfield.

The TikTok Chromebook challenge involves students jamming objects into the USB port of the laptop, causing it to short-circuit or catch fire.
