Family of Woman Killed By Diecutter Suing

SAN FRANCISCO—The father and daughter of a pregnant woman who was killed by a diecutter earlier this year are suing her employer, claiming it failed to equip the machine with safety devices that would have prevented her death, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The January 29 incident at Digital Pre-Press International occurred when 26-year-old Margarita Mojica became entangled in the machine when it suddenly engaged while she and another employee were prepping it for a job. According to the paper, state workplace safety regulators ruled the cause of the accident to be a failure to disconnect the machine from its power source.
