Final narrative
At about 6:30 p.m. on March 15, 2022, an employee was using a vertical sewing machine to work on the border of a mattress. The machine jammed, and the employee was trying to clear it when their hand slipped into the machine. The chop blade activated and amputated the employee's right index and middle fingertips between the nail and the first knuckle.
