A man whose arm was severed while he was cleaning food preparation equipment settled his Passaic County suit on April 21 for $2.7 million.
In April 2013, Tulio Martinez-Carassco was on the job at Premio Foods in Hawthorne. Martinez-Carassco’s employer, Ronell Management of Roselle Park, was hired to clean the facility’s equipment, and he was working on a large mixing and blending machine. The machine included large metal paddles spinning around a large bowl to mix sausage filling, and a discharge door, according to the attorneys involved in the case.
