Employee's hand burned in closing garment press

Employee #1 sustained a 3rd-degree burn to her left hand when the head of a utility garment press, model #541813C, closed while she was smoothing out a gown. According to a service representative of the manufacturer, American Laundry Machinery, Inc., the only thing that could cause such an action would be that a normally closed three-way valve had stuck in the open position. This condition would allow enough air to flow to pressurize the "close" cylinder, causing the head to close.
