At approximately 8:45 a.m. on June 4, 2005, Employee #1, a grinder operator with Talco Plastics, Inc., placed his right hand into the discharge chute of an automatic plastic scrap material separator machine. His right second, third and fourth fingers were partially amputated when they came into contact with the rotating wheel of the air aspirator.

He was transferred to the Loma Linda University Medical Center for hand surgery, and discharged that evening.
