David Mazie, an attorney for the family, released a video of the April 25 spill in Neptune. It shows the clerk bagging the family's purchases, and accidentally knocking over a water bottle, which then hits and topples the cup of hot water.
The child can be seen jumping and writhing in seeming pain.
Mazie says the girl was taken to a hospital with second and third-degree burns.
