- A Portland woman, Julee O’Neil, has filed a lawsuit against Trader Joe’s seeking $10,000 after allegedly discovering a rubber glove fingertip in a bottle of the brand’s orange juice.
- O’Neil claims she found the object on June 19, 2025, after initially mistaking it for a large chunk of pulp while drinking the juice purchased from a Hollywood neighborhood store.
- The shopper is worried she may have swallowed a human fingertip and experienced gagging, a burning sensation, and nausea, leading her to seek medical attention, according to the lawsuit.
- “She was and is concerned that the human hand that was in the tip of the glove was also severed and was part of the pulp she had been periodically drinking,” the lawsuit states.
- Before filing the complaint, O’Neil reportedly sent a written notice to Trader Joe’s requesting a $10,000 settlement, which the grocer did not pay.
