Investigation Summary
On December 21, 2001, Employee #1, a machine operator with Color America Textile, was transporting two tubs of fabric from a folding area to a dying area. He was using a Nu Star power push cart to pull the tubs. While making a left turn, Employee #1 thought the cart became stuck. He jerked it to the left, pinching his left pinky finger between the cart handle and the metal frame of a stationary tub. Employee # 1 was transported to East Los Angeles Doctors' Hospital, where he was admitted for partial amputation of the finger.
