On April 4, 2025, an employee was assembling a cooker and was positioning a shaft inside the shell. The shaft was lifted up on each end. When the weight is off the shell, cranes move north or south to position the cooker inside the shell. The cooker shaft suddenly moved and his right middle finger was caught between the cooker shell and a gauge block. The finger was amputated to the bottom of the fingernail.
