At approximately 5:37 p.m. on July 26, 2002, Employee #1 was cooking chicken in a Henny Penny 8-head gas pressure fryer unit. While the cooker was still under pressure, however, Employee #1 released the lid, and hot cooking oil splashed out on him and on Employees #2 and #3. Employee #1 was transported to the UC Medical Center in Sacramento, CA, where he was admitted to the burn unit. Employees #2 and #3 were treated at local hospitals and released. Employee #1 later stated that the timer had sounded before he opened the lid of the cooker.
