## Narrative

EE was attempting to remove the anti-theft plastic band from a new socket wrench set. He began using a pair of pliers, which didn't work, so he used a utility knife instead to cut the plastic tabs. When he exerted pressure to the tab, part of the tab broke off allowing the force of the utility knife blade to hit his inner thigh, giving him a 1 inch laceration.
