One of the nation's largest candy brands, Tootsie Roll Industries, is facing up to $136,000 in fines after an employee at its flagship Chicago factory had part of their finger amputated by a machine.
The incident in question took place in the factory on April 19, according to OSHA. The unnamed 48-year-old employee had reportedly reached into an exposed part of the machine that had been left unguarded in order to retrieve a paper that had gotten stuck. When he did so, the jaws of the machine closed shut around his hand, which ended up cutting off a portion of his finger.
