Man sues temp agency after machine slices his penis off at work

3/12/2013

Think about your worst-ever day at work. Now cross your legs and count your blessings that you're not Edgardo Toucet. The Florida man has sued his temp agency after an on-the-job accident sliced off his penis and testicles. (Yes, we made the same face that you're making.) Toucet, a Puerto Rico native who doesn't speak English, says he wasn't given any "orientation or other formalized instruction or training" before being told to operate the razor-sharp peeler machine at a manufacturing plant. "Toucet came into contact with the machine's spinning blade, and his penis and testicles were completely severed," the lawsuit says, adding that other temp workers were "injured in prior similar accidents while operating the same peeler machine."
