Abstract: At approximately 11:05 a.m. on May 12, 1989, Employee #1 was adding turkey parts to a Seydelmanz grinder/mixer. The plastic bag that contained the turkey parts fell into the grinder/mixer. To avoid contamination of the ground meat, Employee #1 tried to take out the plastic bag but his left hand became caught in the revolving blades of the grinder. Employee #1's fingers were amputated. The grinder/mixer had an open hopper, which allowed the employee's fingers to become caught in the mixer blades.
