Narrative

On March 11, 2017, an employee was using a hopper when a pipe in the machine became blocked with hardened chocolate, preventing hot water from transferring from the pre-mix kettle to the hopper. The employee used an air line to blow the lines clear. The air made the kettle, which was filled with hot water, overflow and cause first and second degree burns on the employee's back.
