Narrative

At about 9:00 a.m. on November 11, 2018, an employee was removing a basket of cooked pasta from a pasta cooker. The bottom of the basket got caught on the cooker. As she pulled it, the cooker tipped over onto her; the water came out and caused second- and third-degree burns to her lower left leg and foot.
