Abstract: At 10:42 p.m. on January 24, 2022, an employee was heading for a restroom located near an empty carts pickup location. The employee grabbed an empty cart on the way pulling it behind her with her left hand. There were some uprights located near the same area with an empty space that would fit the cart. The employee decided to leave the cart in this area, since it would be clear of the aisle. The employee pulled the cart toward the open space, but struck an upright on the corner with the cart handle where she was holding it with her hand. The employee caught her left finger between the cart handle and the upright. The cart was not motorized and was empty as the employee was pulling it. The employee partially amputated her finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
