Woman wins $10 million in lawsuit over perfume allergy
DETROIT, MAY 24, 2005-- A jury has awarded $10.6 million to former radio proram host who was fired after complaining a co-worker's perfume made her sick.
Erin Weber was fired by WYCD-FM in 2001 after she complained she was allergic to a colleague's perfume. Infinity Broadcasting Inc., which owned the station, not only refused to deal with the problem but retaliated after she filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, she told the court.
