On Aug 10th 2023 the Canadian TSB reported: "On departure from KEWR, awaiting next sector climb, in the midst of several frequency changes, the aircraft encountered a cell with other cells on either side. Unable to obtain deviation permission due to ATC workload, the flight crew elected to enter the cloud and started slowing down the aircraft. A "cabin crew be seated" PA was made and complied with; the passenger seatbelt sign was still on from departure. The aircraft experienced severe turbulence including momentary loss of control, which was promptly regained. A passenger, with seatbelt not fastened, sustained a minor injury when their head hit the overhead bin." A subsequent heavy turbulence check did not find any faults.
