Narrative

On December 8, 2021, an employee was placing turkey drumsticks into the rotary drum debone machine. The drumstick in his left hand fell off of the die and as he reached in to retrieve it, the circular blade cut his left ring finger. The finger was later surgically amputated at the hospital.
