Narrative

On August 8, 2025, an employee was operating a table-top injection molding machine. He refilled the barrel of the machine with resin and began a pack procedure in which the plunger of the machine moved into the barrel to compress plastic pellets into the mix. The plunger caught and amputated his fingertip.
