- J.S. alleges the nail technician did not wear gloves and that she developed symptoms shortly after her acrylic manicure, with the salon previously settling a similar lawsuit in 2023.
- The lawsuit accuses the Oregon Health Authority and Health Licensing Office of negligence for not revoking the salon’s license or taking preventive measures after the first infection case.
- PDX Nails has a history of health violations, including fines in 2021 for failing to disinfect tools and clean equipment properly, though no violations have been issued since then.
- J.S. reports ongoing outbreaks despite treatment and expresses concern about transmitting the virus to others, highlighting the personal impact of the infection.
