OPERATOR'S HAND CAUGHT IN PRESS

A Highland Mills, N.Y. record press operator whose hand and wrist were caught and crushed was awarded $1.5 million in damages yesterday by a Manhattan Federal Court jury at the end of a four-week trial before Judge Morris Lasker .

 

The defendants, Tracy-Val Co., maker of a photo-electronic safety device, Superior Record Press Corp. and Larchwood Music Co., were found negligent and ordered to pay compensatory damages to the plaintiff, Janice Gross, 39, a mother of six. Her attorney, Richard Gurfein of Manhattan, said she was running a record press for LP albums when the safety device failed and her hand and wrist were caught and crushed.
