Baby's Hand Severed at Chocolate Factory
The Associated Press
HONOLULU — An 18-month-old girl's hand was cut off when it became caught in a conveyor belt at a chocolate factory she was touring with her family, officials said. The girl's left hand was caught Saturday in a belt at the Menehune Mac Factory Gift Center, fire officials said. By the time firefighters arrived, employees had bandaged the girl and retrieved her hand. "Our guys just put it in a bag on ice, just to preserve it in case doctors are able to do anything with it," Fire Capt. Chris Ah Mook Sang said. She was taken to The Queen's Medical Center, which did not release her condition. The girl and her family were attending the company's Fifth Annual Mother's Day Candy Making Event, a fundraiser for the Hawaii Children's Cancer Foundation. Menehune Mac President Neal Arakaki said he was investigating. "We feel so bad about this," he said. "This is something truly out of the ordinary. Everyone's just really shook up." Arakaki said the factory was sanitized and production resumed in a different area of the factory. Menehune Mac, founded in 1939, is the oldest existing manufacturer of macadamia nut candies in Hawaii, according its Web site. |

Poor little girl. I can't feel bad enough for her.
Looks like Menehune Mac Candy Company is going to have a new owner soon. |

If she was there for a children's cancer fundraiser, and then she lost a hand in a piece of equipment, and she's not even two years old yet, I'm going to guess that she would answer that she's "unlucky" in the luck thread.

I thought it was all a part of the new Chocolate-Covered Baby Hands product.

If I had a dime for every time I lost a limb in a freak candy factory accident...

Seriously, I'm wondering how the baby managed to get into the machinery like that. WTF were the parents doing?

I feel so bad for both the parents and baby...especially when celebrating Mother's day. I hope medical technology can put her hand back on...they've done so many other miracles. |

I hope she doesn't take up cards... she'll never have more than one decent hand all night.

To make things worse, Dr. Richard Kimble then found the little girl at the hospital and accused her of killing his wife.

Did she at least get the Oompa Loompas to sing for her?
