Perfume lawsuit in Detroit

Another perfume lawsuit is in the works:

An employee in the Detroit planning department who claims she is severely sensitive to perfumes and other cosmetics has sued the city, saying a co-worker's strong fragrance prohibits her from working. [...]

''This employee not only wore a strong scent, but also plugged in a scented room deodorizer,'' the lawsuit states. ''Ms. McBride was overcome by the smell almost instantly, causing her to go home sick.''
