Why the fuck is she paying for her medical bills, what kind of Mickey Mouse bull shit company is that.

NO SHIT. What the fuck!?! Shame on them, if that company was run by any sort of decent people they would have already promised to take care of them! Lol at that notion, though.
What a sad ass state we are in when companies can do this to their employees. ESPECIALLY given their egregious error!
Sounds like with their decline to evacuate, at least she and the others have one hell of a lawsuit. I'm sure there will be plenty of lawyers willing to assist. So unfortunate that it will have to come to that. I hope all of those injured take them for everything they've got.
Shitty fucking candy anyway.

This should be covered under Workman's Comp, for nedical as well as pay replacement, unless she was an under the table worker, in which case, both she andcthe company are screwed.

It's highly unlikely that she'll end up paying her own bills. At the bare minimum this is a workman's comp claim never mind the lawsuit.
The incident happened 7 days ago - it'll take a while to sort out the payments but worst case she'll have a hell of a legal case.

Indeed. But there's still no way anyone is going to convince me that they're not a piece of shit company for not offering any assurances a week afterwards. She shouldn't need to worry about ANY of that while she's in the damn hospital.

The company may just be following basic legal advice of just don't say anything and let insurance and lawyers do their work. It wouldn't make sense for the company to jump up and start writing checks, insurance will cover it but they have to go by the policy. Somewhere in the policy it might say it won't reimburse the company anything they give, but will only give it to the person injured.

Company is very very generous. They are allowing the employee to pay off the debt (for ruining the chocolate) in installments at only the prime interest rate!!

You're making a hell of a lot of assumptions here. As u/rx_bandit90 said - there is a process for dealing with situations like this. All we know is the family said they opened a gofund me - they shouldn't even need one. You could just as rationally assume they're trying to profit off her misfortune while planning the lawsuit.
