A 4-year-old boy was hospitalized on Saturday after an explosion at a children’s museum outside of Oklahoma City, according to NBC affiliate KFOR.
The boy was rushed to an Oklahoma City hospital after being injured at the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum in Seminole, Oklahoma, KFOR reported.
The museum reported an “unfortunate incident” on Saturday, stating that a boy sustained a “burn injury” during an interactive activity.
It added that a guardian accompanied Corona, and that first aid was administered immediately before emergency services arrived.
“Ensuring the safety and well-being of every child and family who visits our museum is of utmost importance to us,” the museum stated. “We are thoroughly investigating the incident, and the particular activity has been halted as we assess and update safety measures to avoid any future incidents.”
The museum further expressed its commitment to “learning from this event and maintaining a safe, enjoyable, and educational environment for all children.”
Local officials did not immediately return a request for comment on the incident.
