## Narrative

A glass stem on an impinger broke while the sampling specialist was assembling a sampling train. The impinger apparently had a weakness that was not spotted prior to its use. The individual required seven stitches to his hand. All glassware used in sampling trains was inspected following this accident. All glassware will be inspected more closely in the future.
