Final narrative
On January 24, 2017, at approximately 2:13 p.m., an employee was injured while operating a chicken pressure fryer. The lid to the cooker was closed, but did not latch. Approximately 5 minutes into the cooking cycle, the pressure inside the cooker caused the lid to open and grease, heated to 350 degrees, splattered on two employees. The first employee was hospitalized for second degree burns to her back and neck. The second employee was treated for first degree burns to his back and was released.
