Abstract: On April 18, 2001, the tea extractor unit at Crystal Geyser became clogged because of a malfunction with the tea bag. Employee #1, a quality control technician, was trying to clear a screen in another tank. A helper, thinking that the extractor tank had drained, released the pneumatic latches on the tank. Hot liquid of approximately 170 to 180 degrees sprayed out of the tank and struck Employee #1. He sustained burns and scalds to his shoulder, the side of his legs, and his feet. He was transported to Sherman Oaks Burn Center where he was hospitalized.
