On June 25, 2012, Employee #1 was working for a temporary labor agency. He had been assigned to work at a food manufacturing firm. Employee #1 was cleaning out an auger that was being switched over to another product. Employee #1 was using an air hose to blow out the product from the auger. The air nozzle was pulled into the auger, and the index finger on Employee #1's right hand was amputated. The auger had been made in-house, so there were no make, model, or serial number on the machine. Employee #1 was taken to Keokuk Hospital in Keokuk, Iowa, where he underwent surgery and was released.
