Study finds many children badly burned each year by instant soups. Gray Hall reports during Action News at 7 a.m. on November 3, 2018.

A new study finds that many children are badly hurt each year with ready to eat soups.

Researchers looked at more than 4,500 burns in children aged 4-12.

They found that 20-percent of scald burns were caused by microwaving instant soup, such as Ramen.

Experts recommend parents being extra cautious when allowing children to handle the meals.
