Final narrative
An employee was using a stainless steel, 72-inch-long probe to break up frozen vegetables in a hopper when the stainless steel probe came into contact with the mechanical cluster buster at the bottom of the hopper, causing it to twist and pinch the employee's pinky fingertip between the top of the hopper edge and the stainless steel probe. The fingertip was amputated.
