No mystery behind the melting mailbox. It's the heat!

Posted: Updated:
NEWBURGH, IN (WFIE) -

The hot weather was just too much for a Warrick County mailbox.

Employees at the Office of Pediatric Dentistry in Newburgh say their plastic mailbox wilted in the triple digit heat.

 Dr. Randy Travis, a Pediatric Dentist, who works at the practice says, "I would like to say that most of the dental work we do is guaranteed up to 200 degrees or so. So we wouldn't have that problem with any of the restorations we do. But it looks like on our mail equipment, we probably need to get a new supplier."

The dentists say they'll be replacing the plastic mailbox with a metal one.
