Abstract: On October 19, 2007, Employee #1 was cleaning the pretzel dough divider, while it was running. When she was cleaning the rollers, a towel that she was using was entangled and began to be wrapped around the rollers. Employee #1 did not let it go and put her hand into the point of operation. Employee #1's hand was pulled into the rollers, causing the skin to be pulled off of the bone of her fingers on the left hand. Employee #1's four fingers on her left hand were amputated at the knuckle level. She was hospitalized.
