THE TELEGRAPH: Workers in Detroit have been urged not to wear perfumed products after a city employee won $100,000 (£67,000) settlement in which she claimed that a colleague's perfume made it difficult for her to breathe.
Signs will be placed in city buildings warning staff to avoid "wearing scented products, including ... colognes, aftershave lotions, perfumes, deodorants, body/face lotions."
The use of scented candles, perfume samples from magazines and spray or solid air fresheners will also be discouraged.
The move follows a 2008 federal lawsuit in which Susan McBride, a city employee, said a colleague's perfume made it challenging for her to do her job. [Source: The Telegraph] Tom Leonard in New York | Monday, March 15, 2010
