Abstract: At approximately 11:49 a.m. on March 19, 2007, Employee #1 was working at a McDonald's Restaurant in Norwalk, CA. He was helping out at the frying station, when he had an epileptic seizure. He was in a convulsive-like state, and his right elbow went into the hot grease. A coworker immediately pulled his elbow out of the grease and poured a bowl of cold water onto his elbow. Employee #1 suffered second- and third- degree burns on his elbow and was transported to the hospital, where he was treated and released four days later.
