Portland Woman Claims Trader Joe’s OJ Contained Glove, Fingertip
The lawsuit seeks $10,000 in damages after the woman said she found a rubber glove fingertip and sought urgent care for mouth pain and nausea.
- On Monday, April 20, 2026, Portland resident Julee O'Neil filed a lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court against Trader Joe's, alleging she purchased orange juice containing a rubber glove fingertip and possibly human tissue.
- O'Neil purchased the 52-ounce bottle of organic orange juice on June 14, 2025, at the Hollywood neighborhood store on NE Halsey Street, discovering the foreign object approximately five days later.
- Following the discovery, O'Neil sought urgent care for a burning sensation, gagging, and nausea, claiming she may have inadvertently swallowed part of a human finger along with the glove tip.
- Seeking $10,000 in damages plus attorney fees, O'Neil provided written notice over 30 days before filing; Trader Joe's denied all allegations of liability or wrongdoing.
- The legal action coincides with a separate $7.4 million settlement involving the grocer, while this contamination lawsuit remains ongoing as Trader Joe's refutes the customer's specific claims.
