Employee's fingertips are amputated while cleaning machine

At 12:30 p.m. on June 8, 2020, an employee was working for a temporary staffing employment agency. She had been assigned to work as a baker at a shop that made pastries in a size to serve individuals: turnovers. The employee was cleaning a Piemaster pie- or turnover-making machine. It was not deenergized. She hit the machine's release button, and a set of rollers closed on her left hand. The tips of the small and ring fingers on her left hand were amputated. She was hospitalized.
