Narrative

On September 12, 2023, two employees were placing a preassembled box on the box wrapping machine. The top plate of the wrapping machine lowered unevenly onto the box and the employees went to fix it so that the top plate was square with the box. The top plate then pinched the injured employee's right ring finger between the plate and the top of the box frame, resulting in amputation of the fingertip and a tuft fracture.
