I would return it to the store.  Any of the traditional remedies for  
setting dye, such as soaking in salt water, may or may not be successful,  
depending on the particular type of dye, and you have no way of knowing  that.  
You 
could go through several processes and still have a runny color  in the end--I 
don't think it is worth it if you can easily return it.

 but the turquoise runs like anything, so much that I'm afraid
that if I wear it and it gets wet in the rain, it will bleed all over
whatever else I'm wearing.

I would use Retayne on it, following the directions on the bottle. I 
have had very good luck setting color on imported batiks and various 
indian and middle eastern clothing items that failed a crocking test.
