Investigation Summary
At 4:50 p.m. on April 20, 1992, Employee #1, a packer for J & J Snack Foods, Inc., was sealing packages of cookies with a Dowboy Sealing Machine and dropping them on a conveyor line.

She was taken to White Memorial Hospital and admitted for three days. Employee #1 is now being treated as an outpatient. The employer was advised to retrain the employees and to enforce safety rules to prevent future accidents.
