|CANTON, Ohio (AP) --
The severed tip of a restaurant worker's thumb was found in a customer's salad.

Stark County Health Commissioner Bill Franks said an employee at Red Robin
Gourmet Burgers in the Canton suburb Jackson Township was chopping lettuce at
about 7 p.m. Monday when he cut off a part of his left thumb, including part of
the fingernail.

Employees at the restaurant about 70 miles south of Cleveland searched for the
tip of his finger, but could not find it. The area was cleaned and sanitized, but the
lettuce was placed in the cooler. The lettuce was then used for salads the next
day.

"It wound up being served at lunch time Tuesday to a 22-year-old woman,'' Franks
said.
