Incident occurred on Friday the 13th, in
January 2006
While at work at a local restaurant franchise as a
steak cook, Tom was in the process of pumping up the pressure on a tank provide
for cleaning the grills. In the tank was
a industrial cleaner, alkaline based, called green or
greased lightning. While pumping, the
hose connected to the tank broke off and the product sprayed forcibly up and
struck Tom directly in his left eye and on the left side of his face and head,
causing serious chemical burns.
