Abstract: At 7:45 a.m. on February 16, 2005, Employee #1, a meat cutter, was using a Butcher Boy meat-cutting band saw; model number B16-F, to slice a large piece of meat into one-inch pieces. The meat rolled, due to the round shape of the bone in the meat, which caused the blade of the band saw to amputate Employee #1's right thumb, index and middle fingers. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
