On February 8, 2021, an employee was adjusting the glass of a glass crate weighing 1,900 pounds when the glass fell out. The employee was pushed by the falling glass into the closed crate behind him, trapping him between the falling glass and the completed crate. The glass and the employee then slid to the floor. The employee sustained swelling and bruising to the abdomen, left leg, left knee, and left hand, with a possible meniscus tear in the left knee. The employee was hospitalized.
