Owner's Fingers Are Amputated by Meat Grinder Auger

At approximately 5:10 p.m. on June 6, 2011, an owner was working at his store, a small neighborhood grocery specializing in ethnic Mexican ingredients and food stuffs. The market had a meat counter and butcher shop at the back and a small kitchen, where one full time employee was employed as kitchen help. The owner was operating a "Butcher Boy" floor meat grinder, located behind the butcher shop of the market. His right hand was caught in the unguarded auger, and his middle, ring and small fingers were amputated. Paramedics transported the owner to Palomar Hospital, and he was hospitalized for three days. The Escondido Fire Department reported the serious injury to OSHA. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the employee was the owner of the business and not subject to reporting requirements.
