Underage Worker Loses Arm And Fingers Using Unguarded Auger

On October 3, 1999, Employee #1, a 12-year-old male being paid "under the table" to work in a juice mill and beer/wine kit selling place, lost his arm and two fingers on other hand while working with an unguarded auger. He apparently used his hands to push the pomace from the juicer into an auger to transport it to the garbage bin. The auger, however, did not have any guards to prevent contact with the blades. When working with the machine, one arm was severed between the wrist and elbow and two fingers on his other hand were amputated. He went to a local hospital for treatment.
