Two employees were trying to close a hopper after clearing a blockage. The hopper still had some dough in it, which made it difficult to close. An employee was pulling on the hopper when it was pushed from the other side, and it pinched the employee's left thumb. The employee suffered a soft-tissue amputation to the underside of the thumb.
