A Christmas commercial starring David Beckham was reported after showing the football legend roasting a turkey in a dangerous way.
In the video from the brand Ninja Kitchen, the star is seen roasting a turkey in a wood-fired oven. However, some viewers pointed out that the oven is designed for outdoor use only and should not be used for cooking indoors.
“You’re not allowed to use the Ninja Woodfire oven indoors. It’s written in the instructions,” said one viewer. “I contacted Ninja about this and hit a wall of incompetence,” commented another.
The ad caused such an uproar among viewers that it was reported to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA). Amid the confusion, Ninja confirmed once again that the oven should not be used indoors and added that Beckham was, in fact, using the outdoor oven in the commercial.
“David Beckham was cooking in an outdoor kitchen during the filming of this commercial, in compliance with the Woodfire Outdoor Oven user instructions. The commercial was cleared by Clearcast before airing,” said a spokesperson for Ninja to The Sun.
