Squishy toy burns teen in hot car

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A 13-year-old girl in New Mexico was badly burned after a gel-filled stress toy, known as 'NeeDoh', burst open while she held it in a vehicle.

Similar cases involving gel toys have surfaced online over the last year from other households.

The gel can melt under sustained heat and may stick to skin, making removal difficult.

Parents are advised to keep these items out of hot cars and direct sun to avoid injury.
