On February 21, 2024, employees were pouring molten metal into a horizontal casting machine while the machine was spinning. The front plate and metal mold disengaged from the casting machine. Molten metal was released from the mold throughout the babbitting room. The front plate went flying and struck employee 3 in the head, resulting in a fatal head injury. The front plate also struck employee 1 and fractured their leg. Employee 2 was struck by molten metal and sustained second-degree burns on the face, shoulders, back, and inside an ear.
