Abstract: At approximately 6:50 a.m. on October 30, 1997, Employee #1, of Jessie Lord, Inc., was walking through the door between the packing area and the oven area when her right foot slipped and she fell to her knees. As she went down, she caught hold of an adjoining 150 lb, 6 ft 4 in. tall by 20 in. wide by 39 in. deep pie rack, which fell over on her. Employee #1 suffered a fractured spine and head injuries, for which she was hospitalized. The pie rack had earlier been abandoned by coworkers in that location because its wheels were not operating properly, making it prone to toppling over. The floor where Employee #1 fell had recently been wet mopped and was still slippery in spots.
