The Museum of Ice Cream’s TikTok trendy “Sprinkle Pool” is seriously lacking in filling — so much so that one visitor was left maimed after he went for a sweet splash, he claims in a new lawsuit.
But the biggest issue might be how the museum presents the pool on social media, where multiple posts encourage visitors to “jump in” and “plunge,” claims the suit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.“We believe this sprinkle pool poses a risk of serious personal injury to members of the public, who are encouraged to jump and plunge into it, despite these actions having caused injuries to those who have fallen victim to this viral trend,” said Shorr’s attorney, Daniel Perrone.
And Shorr isn’t alone. Others shared their Museum of Ice Cream mishaps on social media, where injuries in the sprinkle pool seem to prosper. , Carlie Noelle jumped off one of the pool’s mini diving boards, only to painfully land on her tailbone in the sprinkles. One commenter, who gained over 34 thousand likes, said, “You’re the 4th victim of the sprinkle pit I’ve seen.” One Tiktok user’s video shows a visitor wincing and clutching her ankle after landing feet-first in the Sprinkle Pool.
Shorr suffered “severe and permanent personal injuries” when he jumped into the pool “in the manner advertised, encouraged, marketed and promoted” by the museum, the filing states.Unless the museum is willing to “properly calculate and determine the amount and dimensions of the sprinkles required to render the Sprinkle Pool fit and safe for jumping and/or plunging,” the pool area should be festooned with ample and abundant warnings, he added.
