Incident on Jul 10, 2021: Employee cuts shin moving tires, later develops cellulitis
At 9:33 a.m. on July 10, 2021, an employee working as a part time service technician for a tire shop was responsible for changing tires on customer vehicles. The employee would take the removed tires, know as "dead" tires, and stack them on a tire dolly. Once the dolly is filled to the top the employee would then unload it into a tire container located beside the building. On July 10, 2021, the employee advised the employer that when he was transporting the dead tires on the dolly to the container he hit his leg on the dolly and sustained a small cut on his shin. The injury developed into cellulitis. He said he had developed cellulitis on this leg in the same spot about 5 years ago from a football injury. On July 15, 2021, the employee failed to show up for his shift. The employer reached out to the employee who stated he was in the hospital since July 13, 2021.

Incident on Jun 11, 2003: Employee injured when tire blew off rim
At 5:40 p.m. on June 11, 2003, Employee #1 was cleaning up and getting ready to go home when the manager told him to mount tires to the rims that had just arriv ed and that he would get overtime for doing the job. Employee #1 mounted a rim t o a Coats Model 40-40AS tire change machine. Employee #1 secured the rim using t he cone hold down device. Employee #1 mounted the tire to the rim. Upon inflatin g the tire on the rim, the tires bead broke, causing the tire to come apart with an explosion. The tire hit Employee #1 in the right arm, breaking the arm. Insp ection of the rims and tires reveled that the outside vendor had sent 16.5-inch rims and 16-inch tires. The manager of Store Number 21 did not check the rim and tires sizes before accepting the shipment. Employee #1 did not check the sizes before mounting the tire to the rim and damaged the tire bead when he mounted th e tire to the oversized rim. Employee #1, when inflating the tire, did not know how much air pressure he was putting into the tire, as the Coats Model 40-40AS d oes not have a pressure relief preset at 40 psi nor was the air gauge mounted on the machine legible. Employee #1 was taken to Saint Joseph Hospital in Burbank with a compound fracture of his right arm and was hospitalized.
