An 18-month-old girl was hospitalized at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta after she was burned Wednesday at a Buford restaurant.

"Information we have received and gathered report to (the accident being) accidental in nature," said Ramsey in an email update Wednesday afternoon.

The injuries to the child were described as non-life threatening.

The investigation is ongoing.
