Narrative

On 2/25/15 at approx. 5:15 p.m., an employee was sanitizing the muffin batter depositor pump. She removed the cover off the side of the equipment, sprayed inside, and then reached into the pump with her right hand to check for remaining batter mix. As a result, three fingertips on her right hand were amputated. The machine was not locked out at the time.
