Trader Joe's accused of copying Smucker's Uncrustables with frozen PB&J
J.M. Smucker is suing Trader Joe's, saying its new frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are too similar to Smucker's Uncrustables in their design and packaging. In the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in federal court in Ohio, Smucker said Trader Joe's round, crustless sandwiches have the same pie-like crimp markings on their edges that Uncrustables do.

Doctors Without Borders shuts emergency medical center in Haiti's capital
Doctors Without Borders says that ongoing violence in Haiti has forced it to permanently close its emergency care center in Port-au-Prince. It has been a key lifeline in Haiti's capital that is now 90% controlled by gangs. Wednesday's announcement is a blow to Port-au-Prince, where more than 60% of its health facilities, including Haiti's general hospital, are shuttered or non-functioning given a surge in gang violence. The emergency center in Turgeau had temporarily closed in March 2025 after armed men opened fire on Doctors Without Borders vehicles that were evacuating staff from the center. Some employees sustained minor injuries.
