A report filed by public safety staff at The Institute said The Cleaner thought they were flipping The Breaker on when they actually turned it off, the New York Post reported,
The temperature had allegedly risen by 50C (122F) by The Time researchers discovered the error.
Lawyer Michael Ginsberg told Nbc News that the cleaning employee heard " annoying alarms" and lawyers that interviewed him reported " he still did not appear To Believe he had done anything wrong, but was just trying to help. "
The Institute 's legal team says The Company that employed The Cleaner failed to adequately train their employee. The Company has Not Yet commented.
