Top CBS Crime Drama

RENO, Nev. November 7, 2007 — Reno, Nev., manufacturer LeFiell Company was featured during a recent episode of CBS’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which takes place in Las Vegas.

During the episode which aired November first entitled “The Chick Chop Flick Shop,” the storyline featured a horror movie production company that has a murder on the set. As part of the set decoration for the fictitious movie, there were “corpses” hanging from LeFiell meat hooks. LeFiell produces slaughterhouse and meat processing equipment.

The CBS show airs on Thursdays and stars William Petersen and Marge Helgenberger. According to LeFiell project manager Dean Johnson, the production team ordered the hooks several months prior. “It was exciting to see our products on the show. It was a interesting episode of CSI, an entertaining spoof of horror movies,” said Johnson.

According to Johnson, LeFiell’s products have been featured in other movies and TV shows, and may be in the upcoming Batman movie depending on editing. Falling under the disguise of “Rory’s Last Kiss,” Batman set designers purchased an overhead rail system for use in one of the scenes.
