Narrative

At 8:42 p.m. on September 14, 2022, an employee was pushing a roller plate back into a mold storage rack loaded with a mold. The eye hook on the top of the mold caught on the shelf above, causing it to tip and pinch the employee's fingers. The mold eventually fell; it struck the employee multiple times. The employee suffered an amputated finger, a broken knee, and a broken foot.
